South African Otto (14-under) birdied the 17th for the one stroke needed to nip Austria's Bernd Wiesberger by a shot to win his second career European Tour title at the SA Open played in South Africa.
ANALYSIS
Otto hit 80% of the greens, 1.75 putts per GIR and 30 putts-per-round. Otto's last win was at the 2008 Italian Open. Former winner here So. African Retief Goosen tied for sixth at 10-under. Ernie Els, 69-69-76-79=298, plus-five, tied for 69th. Rounds three and four might indicate Els might have played with an injury rather than withdrawing.
