Chance for home players to shine

Will it be a Sunshine Tour professional who comes out on top this week at the SA Open at Durban Country Club or will it be one of the overseas-based men who take home one of the oldest trophies in golf?

Daniel van Tonder has been in red-hot form on the Sunshine Tour, while Shaun Norris and Jonathan Broomhead have also had their good moments, but they'll be up against a strong contingent of men who've come home to play in the Open, among them defending champion Dean Burmester, Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace, who now all play on the LIV tour.

There are of course plenty other golfers who'll believe they can take home the trophy this week, including former winners such as Andy Sullivan, Brandon Stone and Chris Paisley.
