South African-born British golfer Robin Williams carded a four-under 66 to win the Blue Label Development Tour’s One Day Tournament at Killarney Country Club in Johannesburg last Monday (7 November), crowning his return to South Africa with his maiden Sunshine Tour victory.
Born in Stellenbosch, Williams moved to Europe when he was just eight years old, and after an impressive amateur career in the United Kingdom he turned professional and has now returned to the country of his birth.
“It feels good to win in South Africa for the first time in my career,” said Williams, whose middle name is Tiger, after the great Tiger Woods.
“I played the PGA Championship last week on the Sunshine Tour, and coming into this week I knew my game was trending in the right direction. Today, I just did what I needed to do and took advantage of the par-fives and I’m grateful to win.”
