Nienaber posted a four-day total of 17-under par and finished in a tie for seventh place at the Hero Open.
ANALYSIS
Nienaber carded a sizzling, tournament-best 61 on Friday to leap into contention and managed to play well enough throughout the rest of the week to claim a top 10 finish. He finished third in the field for the week in driving distance and also leaned heavily on his putter all weekend. The 22-year-old South African is seeking his first DP World Tour victory, and if he continues to play like he did this week, a trip to the winners' circle may be around the corner.
