England's Jamie Rutherford claims his maiden victory at SA tournament

Date: Feb 10, 2025

England's Jamie Rutherford claimed his maiden victory on the Sunshine Tour and HotelPlanner Tour with a two-stroke triumph in the Cell C Cape Town Open in association with Honour at Royal Cape Golf Club.

Jeff and Sarah Rutherford, his parents who had flown out from England to support their son on the final day, broke down in tears as they watched him close out a composed final round of 69 in windy conditions to win on 14 under par. 

For Rutherford, it was indeed a moment to savour. South Africa's Keenan Davidse finished second on 12 under par with a final round of 67. It was a confident performance from Rutherford in very tricky conditions. He made three key birdies on the front nine and two on the back nine that allowed him the two bogeys he also made over the final nine holes.
