Charl makesTop 10

Arguably South Africas top Amateur, Charl Coetzee, played four fantastic rounds and maintained his composure in finishing at -2 and in tie for ninth spot in the recently completed Vodacom Tour Championship at the Pretoria Country Club.

One of three Amateurs invited to compete in the prestigous event, Charl finished 6 strokes ahead of his National team mate, David Hewan, who finished in a tie for 27th spot on a four round total of 4 over par after solid rounds of 70,72,72 and 74.

Charl started the tournament with a fantastic opening round of (-4) 67 to lie in third spot and trail the first round leader by 4 shots and followed this on with his next three rounds of 73, 70 and 72. Charl can take alot if confidence from his achievement and will hopefully carry his good form into the 2006 SANLAM SA Amateur Champuionship.
