Majors<\/span>) \u2013 gespeel en is ook genooi om in November vanjaar in die Nedbank-uitdaagtoernooi, algemeen bekend as Afrika se Grote, te speel.<\/p>\nDaarmee word hy ook die eerste Worcesteriet nog wat dit vermag.<\/p>\n
As amatuerspeler het Strydom die land se bane behoorlik aan die brand gespeel en hy spog met 19 junior en 27 toernooie op sy kerfstok.<\/p>\n
Hy het in 2009 \u2019n beroepspeler geword en sy deurbraak op Gholf Suid-Afrika se Sonskyntoer in 2011 gemaak nadat hy nie minder nie as 14 keer met die tweede plek tevrede moes wees.<\/p>\n
Sedertdien was hy in \u2019n verdere vyf toernooie die naaswenner en het tussenin 11 keer die Uitdaagtoer vir opkomende beroepspelers gewen.<\/p>\n
Alles het egter in 2022 verander toe Strydom in die Alfred Dunhill-toernooi op die Leopard Creek-baan langs die Krugerwildtuin met die eerste plek weggestap en sodoende vir die PGA-kampioenskap in die VSA asook \u2019n tweejaar-vrystelling op die DP World Tour gekwalifiseer het.<\/p>\n
Strydom het in die derde ronde by Leopard Creek boonop \u2019n baanrekordtelling van 36 \u2013 nege houe onder die baansyfer \u2013 aangeteken.<\/p>\n
Dit het hom die eerste plek op die Sonskyntoer-merietelys van 2022-\u201923 besorg, asook \u2019n uitnodiging om in vanjaar se Asiese Ope en die Nedbanktoernooi te speel.<\/p>\n
Net om te wys die Leopard Creek-oorwinning was geen gelukskoot nie, het hy vroe\u00ebr vanjaar in Singapoer met \u2019n oorwinning met een enkele hou teen die Fin Salm Valmaki weggestap. In die laaste ronde was Strydom vier houe agter die voorloper toe hy afslaan, maar \u2019n baanrekord van 63 \u2013 nege houe duskant die baansyfer \u2013 het hom sy eerste oorwinning op vreemde bodem besorg met \u2019n toernooitelling van 269 onder die baansyfer.<\/p>\n
Die volgende klompie weke beteken \u2019n besige skedule vir Strydom, met verskeie toernooie in die Tsjeggiese Republiek (D+D Real Czech-meesters, tans in Praag aan die gang), Switserland (Omega Europese-meesters, Crabs-sur-Sierre-klub), Ierland (Horizon- Ierse Ope in Durban by die K-Klub) en Engeland (BMW-PGA-kampioenskap op die Wentworthbaan in Surrey).<\/p>\n
Duisende Suid-Afrikaanse ondersteuners gaan sonder twyfel sy vordering volg. En om te dink dit het alles begin met \u2019n seuntjie wat op \u2019n dag vir Pa Oekie ges\u00ea het hy wil graag leer gholf speel!<\/p>\n
