Van Rooyen closed his week with his best round, a bogey-free six-under-par 65 which saw him climb nine places on the leaderboard to 14-under-par for the tournament. The winner was Korean Tom Kim for the second year in a row. He closed with a five-under 66 to beat Canada’s Adim Hadwin by one shot.
Garrick Higgo signed off with a two-under-par 69 to drop four places into a share of 46th at nine-under. He was projected to slip to 77th on the rankings, and should easily retain his card.
