THE VENUE
Pearl Valley Golf Estates
Although no individual can lay claim to the overall design of Pearl Valley, the masterplan was shaped by the vision of Jack Nicklaus. His unique touch is evident at Pearl Valley Golf Estates. This golf legend sees the Pearl Valley course as the sum of his knowledge and his experience.
WINNER 2008
Richard Sterne
Sterne birdied the first playoff hole to edge out Ireland’s Gareth Maybin for the title. The win comes after his triumph in last wee’s Alfred Dunhill Championship, and this is also his third European Tour victory of the year after winning the Joburg Open in January.
