Team Player capture GPI title
Updated | By Jacasport
In a year of great memories, Gary Player added another when he won the Gary Player Invitational presented by Coca-Cola for a record second consecutive time at the Lost City Golf Club on Sunday.
Player led his team of Irish singer Ronan Keating and businessmen Dr Hans Walter-Peters and Sello Moloko to a commanding 11-stroke victory on 36 under par. And the Grand Slam champion also won the individual competition by six shots.
The team of Ladies European Tour player Danielle Montgomery, cricketer Mark Boucher and businessmen JP Cuvelier and Hal Dyball took second place on 25 under par.
The victory wrapped up what has been a year of memorable moments for the Black Knight, who in 2015 has celebrated the 50th anniversary of his career Grand Slam, his 80th birthday, and being named as the captain of South Africa’s inaugural golf team for the Olympic Games in Rio next year.
And it ended a remarkable week of “Golf and Giving”, with Africa’s premier charity golf tournament raising a record R6.2 million for charities supporting underprivileged children in South Africa.
