Johannes Veerman claimed his second DP World Tour title in dramatic fashion after firing a stunning final-round 69 to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge by a single shot.

Veerman started the day five strokes off the lead at Gary Player Country Club but carded six birdies and three bogeys in testing conditions to set a five-under-par clubhouse target for the final groups.

It went right to the wire, with a bogey on the last denying South African Aldrich Potgieter the chance to face Veerman in a play-off.

The American got off to a mixed start on Sunday, taking advantage of the long second for the fourth day in a row from four feet before giving the shot straight back at the third.

He bounced back courtesy of a delightful 20-foot birdie putt at the par-three fourth, only to bogey the fifth. Another lengthy birdie putt dropped at the sixth before 2021 D+D Real Czech Masters winner Veerman closed the front nine with a tap-in birdie.

Further gains followed at the 11th and 14th courtesy of more wonderful putting, and Veerman found himself alone at the summit when Potgieter ran into trouble at the 12th.

A bogey on the 16th dropped Veerman back to five under before he safely parred the final two holes to set a target that no-one could match and claim an emotional victory on his Sun City debut. The two-time DP World Tour winner now tops the Race to Dubai and Opening Swing Rankings.

Potgieter, Romain Langasque and Matthew Jordan finished in a tie for second one shot back.
