Dylan Frittelli finishes 16th at Honda Classic, Ernie Els shoots 64 to finish top-20 on Champions Tour

Johannesburg - South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli finished in a tie for 16th at the Honda Classic at the Champions Course in Florida, on Sunday.

Frittelli closed with a final round two-over 72 to end on level par for the week. Austrian Sepp Straka triumphed on 10-under, one ahead of Ireland’s Shane Lowry.

The 31-year-old Frittelli began the day in seventh position, but a four-over front nine ended any hopes he would have held of a top finish.

Two birdies on 11 and 12 were then offset by bogeys on 13 and 15 as it looked like Frittelli would have to settle for an over-par final round.

It set the stage for the highlight of his day, as he holed his greenside bunker shot from 27 metres for eagle at the par five 18th. Frittelli’s finish inside the top-20 also ensured prize money of R1.6m.

Walk-off eagle.
