South African Cristiaan Bezuidenhout who last week won his 2nd title at leopards Creek SA, has continued his form, & is tied for the lead after the 1st round at Sun City SA.
An amazing story started when he accidentally took some rat poison when he was 2 years old., because of this he suffered health problems & developed a stutter. You can only imagine how hard it must have been growing up, & it led to his dedication to the game of golf.
he had another major set-back when he was banned for 2 years for using the banned beta-blocker drug, which he was taking to control his anxiety. This was later reduced to 9 months.
He's now broke into the top 50 in the world rankings & can only go on to bigger & better things. Full of admiration with what he has overcome. Never ducks out of interviews because of his speak problem. A class act, on & off the course.

Back to back wins for Bezuidenhout, as he finished 5 shots clear in the South African Open at Sun City.
