By George, Coetzee's command performance

After missing out on the Dimension Data Pro-Am title last week, George Coetzee shot a blistering 64 on Day 4 of the Telkom PGA Championship at Johannesburg's Country Club for a victory by two strokes over Neil Schietekat.
The scoring was low all week as the leading players rattled in a succession of birdies and eagles, and breaking 70 was a regular occurrence.
Branden Grace led the field going into the final round but a 69 on Day 4 saw him overtaken by Coetzee, who had battled against him throughout the week, and Schietekat, who fired a closing 66.
Coetzee's last day didn't start well with a bogey at the second. But this was his only blemish as he carded nine birdies throughout the remainder of his round and finished with his second score of -8 for the week.
