Jean Hugo (left), 48, made the most cuts, 25 in 28 outings. Hugo has been continuously on tour, seldom missing a tournament, since November 1999 when he debuted in the Zimbabwe Open and won the trophy. He has had 19 victories, earned R14.6-million, and had 107 top-10 finishes. He was 21st on the latest Order of Merit. Ten players earned in excess of R2-million in earnings on the Order of Merit among those who played a minimum of 7 events, and another 21 exceeded R1 million. No one on the Order of Merit won any of the 10 co-sanctioned DP World Tour and Challenge Tour titles. Six of these went to foreign players, and the other four to Dean Burmester and Louis Oosthuizen. Jaco Prinsloo had a top-10 finish in the Dimension Data Pro-Am at Fancourt despite an 82 in his second round at The Links. He shot 67-65 the last two rounds.
