BRETT Liddle ended a two-year win drought with his one-shot victory in the Vodacom Tour’s Lombard Tyres Classic at the Krugersdorp Golf Club on Saturday. A final round 69 saw him finish the 72-hole tournament on 19-under-par 269.
Hennie Otto took second place a shot back after his 67, while Roger Wessels finished third on 13-under with a 71. Liddle achieved a hat-trick of victories on the Vodacom Tour in 1995, but his last victory before this was in the 1996 Kalahari Classic in Sishen. He started the round as overnight leader by three, and surged ahead with a 30-foot putt for eagle at the par-five first.
Liddle leaves next Sunday for his fifth attempt at the Canadian Tour School, and warns that he expects a win in the upcoming Vodacom Series Gauteng at Zwartkop Country Club this week.
