After a perfect last lap, the Pole Mateusz Gradecki won the Limpopo Championship in South Africa. Clément Sordet (photo) continues with a new top 10 made possible by four cards under par.
Oliver Hundebøll looked unfazed this week for the last of six consecutive tournaments in South Africa. The winner of the Mangaung Open four weeks ago had only conceded two bogeys on the first 54 holes, but the Dane made four mistakes on his first 11 holes this Sunday. A very heavy 76 (+4) finally sanctioned this very difficult 4th round and Hundebøll must settle for 4th place.
The setbacks of the Scandinavian have benefited Mateusz Gradecki. Third before the last lap, the Pole returned a sparkling 66 (-6) on theEuphoria Golf Club. Six birdies, no mistakes! The 27-year-old golfer signed the perfect card to clinch his first career title on the Challenge Tour.

Clément Sordet 9e
Pointed to the limit of the cut on the evening of the first round with a card of 71 (-1), Clément Sordet managed to get closer to the leading peloton in the following laps.
On arrival, the former student at the Texas Tech University got a good top 10 thanks to a last card of 70 (-2). A week after winning the SDC Openhe thus confirms his place in the top 5 of the Road to Mallorca.
Robin Sciot-Siegrist chute
In a day several times interrupted by the storm, Robin Sciot-Siegrist however suffered. The Parisian conceded a 75 (+3) including a triple and three bogeys. He fell to 16th place, but still signed his second top 20 since the start of the season.
Gary Stal and Jeong Weon Ko did not let go in this last lap. Both custodians of a final card in par, they end up together in 26th position.
