Heinrich Bruiners recently won the Stella Artois Players Championship after scoring a total of 28 under par by the end of the event. This victory marked the end of his 11-year winless streak.
Bruiners’ last win on the Sunshine Tour was at the 2013 Vodacom Origins of Golf at Euphoria, where he defeated Adilson da Silva and Daniel van Tonder by a five-stroke margin. His win at the Dainfern Golf Estate moved the golfer to tears, prompting him to express gratitude to all those who had steadfastly supported him over the years.
Bruiners also noted how his colleagues' progress in their professional journeys motivated him to maintain consistency and work even harder to bag the trophy.
He said (via IOL):
"I just want to thank everybody involved and everybody who supports the Sunshine Tour. My fellow professionals have stepped up to another level and it’s pushed me to work even harder. We all fight to get on the big stage and it’s really nice to stand here with a trophy."
Heinrich Bruiners started his first day of the tournament with a rocking performance as he clinched nine birdies and one bogey to end the round at 64. He then made a score of 65 and 67 on day two and day three, respectively.
Bruiners successfully matched his opening-round performance during his final round, firing a 64 again to edge out three other golfers by a single-stroke margin and secure the lead.
