Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golf season The 1985–86 Southern Africa Tour was the 15th season of the Southern Africa Tour, the main professional golf tour in South Africa since it was formed in 1971.

Season outline

South African David Frost had much success in the early part of the season, finishing in first or second place at the first six events. At the first tournament, the Safmarine South African Masters, Frost finished runner-up, four behind hampion Mark McNulty.[1] The Goodyear Classic, played the following week, saw Denis Watson beat Frost by one shot.[2] At the third event, the ICL International, Gavan Levenson beat Frost by one shot.[3] At the Lexington PGA Championship, Frost once again finished runner-up, five shots behind winner Bobby Cole.[4] The final round of the fifth tournament, the Wild Coast Classic, started as a "match-play duel" between Frost and McNulty before McNulty went on to a "runaway win." Frost finished solo second.[5] At the sixth event of the season, the Southern Suns South African Open, Frost finally won, birdieing the final three holes for a three stroke win over Tony Johnstone.[6] This was his last event of the season; days later Frost flew to America play on the PGA Tour.[6]

For the remainder of the season, Fulton Allem and Mark McNulty were the top contenders, earning the top two slots at nearly every late season event. At the seventh event, the AECI Charity Classic, Allem outdueled McNulty down the stretch and defeated him by a shot.[7] The following week, however, McNulty recorded a final round 69 to win by six shots over runner-up Allem at the Barclays Bank Classic.[8] Allem won the next event, the Palabora Classic.[9] The following week, at the Swazi Sun Pro-Am, McNulty shot a 65 and against Allem's 66 in the final round to tie at the end of the regulation. At the par-3 playoff hole, Allem made bogey, giving McNulty the win.[10] McNulty also won the final event, the Trustbank Tournament of Champions.[11] McNulty won the Order of Merit in a "runaway." Allem finished second.[12]
