Английская Википедия:1991–92 Southern Africa Tour
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox golf season The 1991–92 Southern Africa Tour was the 21st season of the Southern Africa Tour, the main professional golf tour in South Africa since it was formed in 1971.
Season outline
A variety of golfers had success early in the season. De Wet Basson won the inaugural event of the year, the Fancourt Hall of Fame.[1] The following event, the Goodyear Classic, was won by Justin Hobday, four shots ahead of American Hugh Royer III.[2] Retief Goosen won the third event of the season, the Spoornet Classic, by a shot over John Bland and Richard Kaplan.[3]
The remainder of the year was dominated by Ernie Els. Els won the Protea Assurance South African Open and the Lexington PGA Championship in consecutive weeks. He took the lead in the Order of Merit.[4] Northern Ireland's David Feherty won the following event, the Bell's Cup, by one shot over Mark McNulty. Els retained his lead on the Order of Merit with his third place finish.[5] At the next week's event, the Trustbank Tournament of Champions, Els "made up four shots in the last nine holes" but still finished a shot behind champion Bobby Lincoln.[6] Els came back and won the next event, the EVS South African Masters.[7] At the final event of the season, the Hollard Royal Swazi Sun Classic, Els again made up much ground late, finishing eagle-birdie, turning a three-stroke deficit into a one stroke win.[8] Els won the Order of Merit by a wide margin.[9]
