Dean Burmester was the emotional fulcrum for his Southern Guards GC and their home fans this week at Steyn City.
He started the final round with four consecutive birdies before playing the final 14 holes in a bogey-free 1-under to shoot a 5-under 66, tying for sixth.
“I had a phenomenal week, honestly,” Burmester said.
“I could never have imagined a greater week for all four of us to be welcomed like this at home. It’s the greatest feeling I think any of us will ever feel.
“Each of us got to tee off on this first tee here, and each of us walked off saying exactly the same thing:
“We couldn’t feel anything. It was the greatest thing I’ve ever felt on the golf course. I’m just proud to be South African; that’s it.”
