What happened

Justin Walters not only had to wait 15 years for another title; he also had to dig deep to achieve it in winning the SunBet Challenge hosted by Sun Boardwalk at Humewood Golf Club at the weekend.

Why it matters

Walters closed with a 72 to finish on 15 under par, one shot clear of Daniel van Tonder (67) and Jacques Blaauw (69) to become a three-time Sunshine Tour winner.

Common ground

He went into the final round with a four-shot lead but found trouble on the front nine with three bogeys in four holes, turning in three over par for his round.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
