South African Dean Burmester is the nearly man of the European Tour no longer after a three-shot victory in the Tshwane Open on Sunday finally broke his title duck. One stroke behind entering the final round, the Zimbabwe-born golfer began with three birdies in a six-birdie front nine at Pretoria Country Club to take a lead he never surrendered. He turned in six-under 29 and was six shots ahead before three bogeys on the back nine trimmed his winning margin as he closed with a 65.
