well after first round Victor Perez tied first with the Indian Chikkarangappa S (OWGR #845) at [-8] with three more at [-7] including the South African Jaco Van Zyl (OWGR #997) who I thought had lost his players card. last time I saw Jaco competitive was when he got tied 2nd at the Qatar Masters in 2017

after 2nd round recent Euro Tour School grad the American Kurt Kitayama with a B2B [-7] for tourney [-14] the leader with 2nd round co-leader Chikkarangappa S shot [-4] for [-12] solo 2nd then Frenchmen Victor Perez [-3] and Matthieu Pavon [-6] tied 3rd at [-11] the CUT came at [-2]

well American rookie Kurt Kitayama hold on for his maiden Euro Tour WIN with a final round [-4] for tourney [-20] two up on the Indian Chikkarangappa S [-5] and Frenchman Matthieu Pavon [-5] for tourney [-18]. 3rd round co-leader South African Justin Harding gets solo 4th with a [-1] for [-17]

last years winner Dylan Frittelli with a final [-7] ends up tied 5th with the Japanese Masahiro Kawamura [-3] for [-16] Dylan screwed up his tourney with three bogies in a row his back side the 3rd round

with this win Kitayama now has his his choice of tourneys on the Euro, Asisn and Sunshine (South African} tours as this tourney was tri-sponsored by all three. will be interesting to see IF he plays the next two Euro Tour tourneys in South Africa, the South African Open in Johannesburg or the Alfred Dunhill at Leopard Creek, OR just comes home to Chico, California or Las Vegas (he is a UNLV graduate and former player) to celebrate and takes the holidays off. he breaks the record for fastest to WIN after getting his card in just his 3rd Euro Tour tourney held by Spaniard Alvaro Quiros in his 5th when he first came on the tour

btw, WATCH OUT for the South African Justin Harding the next two. he is the leader of the Sunshine Tour order of merit and has WON twice on that tour this season along with two Asian Tour wins
