Englishman wins SA Amateur qualifier with discount golf equipment
Versfeld had signed for a 71 at the East London Golf Club golf clubs on Monday to set a target of eight-under-par 138 for the late finishers, but Canter forced the qualifier into extra time with a four under 69.
The Englishman then drained a stunning 20-foot putt for discount golf equipment birdie at the first extra hole to collect the coveted Proudfoot Trophy.
Joy was written all over his face, but Canter was quick to concede that the real golf clubs tournament, the match play, would only start on Tuesday.
"It's a real honour to win this trophy," he said. "I've been in golf stand bag South Africa since the end of December but I really struggled to perform in the first couple of tournaments. Now it feels like the hard work is finally paying off."
