2022 Alfred Dunhill Championship

Christiaan Bezuidenhout will be looking to emulate Charl Schwartzel by successfully retaining the
Alfred Dunhill Championship.
Schwartzel remains the only golfer to have won back to back Alfred Dunhill Championships having done so between 2012 and 2013.
His South African compatriot Bezuidenhout won this tournament in 2020 as he bounced back from a front nine where he dropped three shots in two holes.
The Mpumalanga-born golfer then made three crucial birdies on the back nine to close with a 69 and a winning 14-under-par total at the Leopard Creek Country Club.
A week later, Bezuidenhout claimed a wire-to-wire victory at the South African Open which was played at Gary Player Country Club.
As a result, the 2017 Sunshine Tour Rookie of the Year became the first player with back-to-back victories on the European Tour since Justin Rose in 2017.
Bezuidenhout has won 10 professional tournaments including three European Tour events and four Sunshine Tour tournaments.

“I thought after that double bogey it would be tough to come back from there. It was tough out there," Bezuidenhout said after winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
"We played in a two-club wind that was swirling all over the place. You stood over your ball and it was downwind, and then when you hit it was suddenly into the wind.
"“The pins were also tucked away on the greens. I just tried to play clever golf today. But all credit to my caddie. He stuck in there with me today and we pulled it through together."
Schwartzel is the most decorated golfer in the history of Alfred Dunhill Championship with four titles.
