Thriston Lawrence claimed the South African Open 2022 at home despite a final-round 2-over 74 on Sunday at the Blair Atholl course in Centurion, South Africa. Lawrence began the day with a two-shot lead over Clement Sordet of France. After increasing his lead to five strokes early on the back nine, the South African just held off his playing partner to finish with a total score of 16-under 272. His last two victories on the European tour came at the European Masters in August and the Joburg Open a year earlier.

The 14th hole saw Lawrence make a bogey as Sordet scored a birdie. Lawrence then dragged his approach shot into the water on the next hole, accumulating a double bogey. Lawrence and Sordet were tied for the lead after another dropped shot on No. 16. Sordet bogeyed the 17th after attempting to get up and down from a greenside bunker. On the par-5 18th hole, Sordet stumbled into more sand and was failed to make the necessary birdie to ensure a playoff. The event was the second of three competitions taking place in South Africa this month as a part of the European Tour’s 2023 schedule.
