Four players followed on 38 points – Kevin Collings, Nico Jacobs, Shane Arthur and John Callender-Easby.

Saturday also saw the final match in the 2015 Bob Klemp Shield, the Club Matchplay Championships, contested for by the top 16 players in the Strokeplay Championships. Defending champion Nico Jacobs enjoyed a comfortable five and four win against Stiaan Hugo.

Friday’s events were cut short by lightning and rain, a total of 17mm measured.

On Thursday afternoon Cedric van der Ross posted 24 points for an outright win in KWV Powerplay Niner. A six pointer on the nominated par five 12th assisted. A count out, that included an eight pointer on stroke one, saw Wade King the runner up on 21 points. Third placed Flexx Rantoa, on the same score, enjoyed a six pointer on the 13th. Outside of the prize winners Mali Manana gained a ticket in the draw with a six pointer on the 14th.

On Wednesday afternoon Bennie Claasen carded a gross 77 for 39 points and a win on the count out to take first place in the Darsha Insurance Brokers sponsored monthly competition. Losing that count out and the runner up was Garth Lee. Mike Vigne reversed a modest start with a one over par gross 37 on the home nine to post 38 points and to take third place.
