– Second European Tour win for Callaway staffer Christiaan Bezuidenhout at the Alfred Dunhill Championship

(Chessington, UK – November 30, 2020) Callaway staffer Christiaan Bezuidenhout came from behind in a birdie-filled final round in his native South Africa, to charge to a four-shot victory in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club.

Using a full bag of Callaway equipment, the 26-year-old closed out the tournament on 14-under par, completing a fantastic week that saw him card four sub-70 rounds. He enjoyed a flawless three under par back nine on the final day’s play to pull clear of the chasing pack, helped by holing birdie putts of 25 and 18 feet on the 14th and 15th, with his Odyssey Putter.

His latest victory, which takes him to a career high 41st in the world rankings, gives him his fourth professional win and his second on the European Tour, adding to a breakthrough Andalucia Masters title at Valderrama last year.

Straight after his win, Christiaan commented: “It’s incredible. This tournament has been close to my heart since I played it for the first time. It’s always been a tournament I wanted to win and to pull it off today is really, really special to me.”

Neil Howie, President and Managing Director of Callaway Golf EMEA, added: “Winning on the European Tour is always a huge achievement, but for Christiaan to take his second title in such emphatic fashion, and on home soil – his first professional win in South Africa – will be one to remember for a long while.”
