Glendower champions hunt SA Open glory

Glendower Golf Club will host the 103rd South African Open Championship from November 21 to 24.

In preparation for the world’s second oldest national championship, Glendower last week played host to the BMG Classic.

The cream of the Sunshine Tour used the opportunity to test drive the classic layout of the course in preparation for the SA Open.

The three recent champions at the Dowerglen course, Teboho Sefatsa, James Kamte and Brandon Pieters believe they know what it takes to lift the SA Open title.

“It is not without reason that Glendower is rated as one of the country’s best courses,” said Teboho, who used his home-course advantage to lift the title last year.

The 30-year-old Germiston golfer will definitely be bidding for the big one this year.

“I can guarantee you that every player who tees off in the BMG Classic this year, will have the SA Open at the back of his mind,” he said.
