The men’s section followed a similar trend, with 4 of the 5 players being in contention with one game to play. In the final game, Peet du Bruyn had a good win to become the only player to win four of his five games, finishing on six points +27 to annexe the title.
The runners-up spot was determined on shot difference, with John Bain (4 + 1) edging out Chris White (4 – 2) and Jaco Lamprecht (4 – 0) in third place. Peet and Mariska thus became the first father and daughter to win the novice titles in the same year.
