In a stunning finale at the Joburg Open, Scotland's Calum Hill seized victory in a thrilling three-man playoff, clinching his second DP World Tour title. Hill, showcasing exceptional skill, carded a final round of 62, overcoming competitors with remarkable flair.

Indian golfers Shubhankar Sharma and Veer Ahlawat ended their promising week with T-37 and T-42 finishes, despite strong early rounds. Sharma, after impressive initial rounds of 66-65, faltered in later stages, while Ahlawat's initial 63 was followed by modest weekend performances.

The playoff drama unfolded on the par-four 18th, where Hill's steady performance outshined rivals Jacques Kruyswijk and Shaun Norris. Norris found water trouble, leading to a double bogey, and Kruyswijk's bogey opened the path for Hill's decisive win.
