British Open champ Buhai reigns supreme in Steenberg to lift fourth SA Women's Open title

South African golfer Ashleigh Buhai kept her cool to seal the Investec SA Women's Open title at Steenberg Golf Club on Saturday.

With an overnight lead of four, Buhai showed her major composure to seal her fourth SA Women's Open title in front of her family and friends.

The reigning British Open champion posted a final round of four-under par 68 to finish and clinch the title on 22-under par for the tournament.

"I'm over the moon and ecstatic to have gotten the job done. My goal was to come in here and win this week," Buhai told reporters after her win.

"To try to play it down because I know it's a lot of pressure and it's going to be difficult to do, but now that I've got it done and over the line, I'm really happy."

FINAL SCORECARD

Last August, Buhai made history as she became the first South African female golfer to win a Major championship since 1988. 

Buhai also became the third South African woman to win a major as she clinched a thrilling play-off at Muirfield.

With her husband on her bag this week, Buhai captured her fifth Ladies European Tour title and 12th Sunshine Tour Ladies title.

"I think with what I'm doing at the moment between my golf swing and the mental side, I just need to stick to it, don't try and reinvent the wheel," said Buhai.

"Hopefully, I can keep up this consistency. That's what my main goal is to just become more consistent and give myself a chance every now and then to win a golf tournament."

Buhai admits that her husband and caddie Dave helped her through a stomach bug as she held on for a four-shot win.

"Yeah, I'm very proud of myself and how I battled through. Dave keeping me in it, especially yesterday, trying not to exert too much energy. But thank goodness, today my energy was back and it
