Louis Oosthuizen completed back-to-back wins on the DP World Tour with a two-shot victory at the Mauritius Open on Sunday, overcoming early jitters to card a final round 69 at the new La0y Reserve Golf Club, a course he helped to design.

The South African last week claimed the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek for his first tournament success in five years, and he repeated the feat six days later with a 17 under-par score, two ahead of England’s Laurie Canter (68, 15 under-par).

WILLIAMS TAKES FIRST-ROUND LEAD AT LEOPARD CREEK

Anglo-South African Robin Williams, ranked 924th in the world, shot a seven-under-par 65 for a one-shot lead after the first round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship on Thursday at the Leopard Creek Country Club on the border of the Kruger Park.

The 22-year-old Williams, born in South Africa and now playing under the country’s flag despite growing up in Britain and playing amateur golf for England, made four birdies in his opening seven holes and then another four on the back nine for an early clubhouse lead.

He is one shot ahead of Jayden Schaper, another 22-year-old local who was tied fifth in last week’s South African Open, and Manuel Elvira of Spain.

A further six players sit on five-under-par, including Scott Jamieson from Scotland and New Zealander Samuel Jones.

Dean Burmester, who has won back-to-back events on the DP World Tour over the last fortnight and more than 400,000 euros ($431,560) in prize money, shot a first round 69.

Defending champion Ockie Strydom was one under par after dropping three shots on the final three holes.
