South Africa 's George Coetzee put home advantage to full use to win his second European Tour title in the Tshwane Open . Coetzee carded a flawless final round of 65 to finish one shot ahead of compatriot Jacques Blaauw at Pretoria Country Club , the course where he has been a member since taking up the game and won his first junior competition aged 10 . Blaauw had charged through the field with a stunning closing 61 to equal the course record and set the clubhouse target at 13 under par , with the final groups still having nine holes to play . George Coetzee plays a shot during the final round of the Tshwane Open at Pretoria Country Club . Coetzee relaxes with the trophy after winning the second European Tour title of his career . However , Coetzee - who was one of six players sharing the lead overnight - was just one behind after finishing his front nine with three birdies in four holes and picked up two more shots on the back nine to seal victory . The decisive moment came on the 17th after Coetzee had tried to drive the green on the short par four . His tee shot came up in the trees , short of the green but with a clear path between two bunkers , and the world number 87 took full advantage , chipping to five feet and holing for a birdie to take a one-shot lead down the last . ' I think I 've got this course down after 18 years of playing golf , ' joked Coetzee , whose previous win also came on home soil at the Joburg Open last year . ' I know when I am comfortable hitting drivers and going for par fours or being aggressive and attacking flags and I think today played to my advantage knowing when to be aggressive and when not to . Coetzee walks over a bridge with playing partner Trevor Fisher Jnr during the final round . ' I drew on my experiences of winning club championships here . I actually threw one away by playing it conservative on 17 . So today it was quite an easy decision . I knew I was going to hit driver no matter what , because I do n't know how to play that hole with an iron ! 'To win at your home club , in front of all your friends and family , it 's a great experience and a very special day for me . The crowds were amazing . I could just feel the momentum building and the crowd felt like it was getting bigger and bigger the closer we got to the end . ' Speaking immediately after his round , Blaauw said : 'It was fun out there , everything just went in . ' I got a bit of luck on nine when I hit it left but had a swing and got it up and down it for birdie and then after that made some putts . It 's always good to be in contention in these big events coming down the stretch . ' Scotland 's Craig Lee was just one off the lead when he carded his fourth birdie of the day on the 14th , but bogeyed the next and then took a double bogey on the last to drop back to nine under alongside South African pair Dean Burmester and Tjaart van der Walt .
