Bekker triumphs at Fancourt(2)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 24, 2012 -- Bekker headed into the final round at 11-under, one stroke clear of Merrick Bremner. He had a quiet front stretch and only moved ahead of par at the ninth, where he made birdie.Titleist Scotty Cameron Buttonback Putter

He raced into the second nine, making birdies at the 10th and 11th, but could not sustain the pace and dropped shots at the 13th and 15th, giving his chasers a sniff of victory.

But the Stellenbosch Golf Club professional would not be outdone and played regulation golf until the 18th, where he boxed a 10-footer for a two-stroke victory over Thomas Aiken and Tyrone Ferreira.

Ferreira burst into contention when he eagled the 18th, but Bekker stayed ahead, and composure won the Titleist Scotty Cameron Buttonback Putter. Aiken was hindered by drops at the third, 14th and 15th and failed to overcome the deficit.

Bekker won the Northern Cape Classic last year, but felt that his win in George outshone his maiden victory. "This win really eclipses my first victory. To play these courses and to come out on top is really something," he said.

He opened the tournament with a superb 65 at Montagu and went on to card 70 at Outeniqua on day two, all the while staying up there. His third round, which he played at The Links, started horribly - he double-bogeyed the first and bogeyed the third - but he recovered the shots with a birdie at the seventh and an eagle at the ninth. He eventually signed for 71 at the par-73 course to head into Sunday at 11-under.

By the end of Sunday, Bekker was far happier with his
Titleist Scotty Cameron Buttonback Putter and was ready to tackle the next tournament. "The things I am working on are simple, and you end up focusing on those things and that actually helps you to play well. It narrows your focus,"
