Jarvis won for the second straight week on the DP World Tour, following his victory last week in the Kenya Open."I just had a slight feeling at the start of the week that something crazy was going to happen," Jarvis said after his three-shot victory at Stellenbosch Golf Club. The timing was ideal. For the first time, the Masters offered an invitation to the winner of the South African Open. Golf's third-oldest national championship also provided three spots to the leading players not already eligible for the Open Championship in July at Royal Birkdale. Francesco Laporta of Italy closed with a 69 and tied for second with Frederic LaCroix of France (65) and Hennie Du Plessis of South Africa (69). Du Plessis was two shots behind playing the 18th, but he finished with a bogey, which cost him a spot in the Open Championship.
