Nick Bachem claimed his maiden DP World Tour title courtesy of a brilliant blemish-free final round at the Jonsson Workwear Open on Sunday.

 

The 23-year-old German won by a commanding four-shot margin courtesy of a closing eight-under 64 at The Club at Steyn City.

 

Bachem was playing on the Pro Golf Tour only two years ago and celebrated the biggest victory of his fledgling career in Johannesburg, where he finished the week on 24 under.

 

The leader after two rounds, Bachem went into the final day in a share of second place behind Swede Joakim Lagergren and claimed the title in only his 12th DP World Tour start.

He went out in 32 after making birdies at four of the first six holes before picking up further strokes at the 10th and 11th.

 

The composed Bachem also made gains at 14 and 17 to give himself breathing space, with Hennie du Plessis and Zander Lombard in a share of second place on 20 under.

 

Lombard finished with a 65 in his homeland, while Du Plessis carded a 68.

 

Lagergren birdied two of the opening three holes, but lost his way and finished in sixth spot after signing for a two-under 70.
