Jaco Prinsloo aims to make most of SA's DP World Tour leg: 'That's where dreams are made'

South African golfer Jaco Prinsloo hopes to continue his fine form for the remainder of the Sunshine Tour season as he eyes a dream come true Sunshine Tour Order of Merit win.

Prinsloo has had a stellar season so far and is currently second on the Sunshine Tour's Order of Merit for the 2022/23 season.

After clinching two wins in 2021, Prinsloo continued his form on the fairways with six top-10 finishes in 21 events.

Last month, Prinsloo clinched his fourth Sunshine Tour title at the Eswatini Nkonyeni Challenge at the Nkonyeni Lodge and Golf Estate in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland).

Prinsloo is only 12.75 points behind Sunshine Tour's Order of Merit leader Albert Venter.

"I'm loving the season so far. I had Covid-19 at the beginning of the year, which meant that I missed out on a few events," Prinsloo told News24 Sport.

"Luckily, I hit the floor running from there and tried to work my way up the Order of Merit, which is nice."

This week, the Sunshine Tour is at the Ebotse Links for the Fortress Invitational, a new three-round tournament starting on Friday.

The three-day televised inaugural tournament will celebrate a field in excess of 120 professional players, all fighting for a prize fund of R1.5 million.

Prinsloo is a man in form and knows how to win, suggesting that a relaxed mindset has helped him handle pressure situations on the golf course.

"It's something we've all got to learn, rarely does a guy win a tournament so we all got to learn to lose before bringing your first win. Through the years, being in similar positions and failing, that's where you learn and get comfortable with having that pressure on you," he said.

"I just keep my head down and try and hit the best shot that I can, and not think about what's going on too
