Thomas Bjorn has carved out two eagles in his last nine holes, one brilliant and one a little lucky, to come from behind and win the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Sunday, closing with a 65 for 20-under overall and a two-shot victory, according to reports.
According to Sport24, overnight leader Jamie Donaldson of Wales wasted a three-shot advantage with a final-round 70 and tied for second with Sergio Garcia (65).
Bjorn's sweet five iron into No. 10 set up the first eagle to push him past Donaldson, the report said.
The Dane had his second on No. 14 after his approach pitched in a bunker and rolled up onto the green, the report added.
The 1.25 million dollars winner's check at Sun City is the 42-year-old Bjorn's biggest prize and it's his 15th European Tour title, the report further said.
