MALELANE, Mpumalanga – Early on the back nine at Leopard Creek on Saturday, Garth Mulroy turned to his caddie and said, “It would be nice to start rolling in a few putts and give the boys something to worry about”.

Martin has dominated this event over the past two years, and made history last year when he became the championship’s first back-to-back winner...

You will usually see him in the shadows on the Leopard Creek golf course. He is the gentleman standing away from the large gallery. And unlike the fans who come to see birdies and eagles, he’s more interested in what the players do when they’re not swinging a golf club. Like a laugh between the golfer and his caddie. Or that typical pose where a player leans on his putter and crosses his leg...

Golf tournaments rely on a number of factors to define them as great. Some have an elevated status because of the quality of the golf course. Others rely on the setting of the tournament to distinguish them. And some are defined by the great names participating. But rarely do all of these elements come together in one event.

When they do, you have something as memorable as the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club...
