Thriston Lawrence became the first South African to win the BMW International Open since Ernie Els in 2013 following a one-shot win over Joost Luiten in Munich.
The 26-year-old had plenty of work to do heading into the final round, beginning three shots behind overnight leader Luiten. However, he gradually chipped away at the lead despite a mixed performance as Luiten failed to replicate his exceptional bogey free 65 of Saturday.
