The 39-year-old South African birdied three of his final five holes to win his maiden DP World Tour title by three shots on 25 under par. As a result, he has climbed from 85th to 62nd in the ranking.
Steyn City runner-up Dean Burmester has moved up from 76th to 64th, with third-placed Oliver Bekker improving his ranking from 134 to 117.
