The 2025 SDC Open final leaderboard is headed by winner Daniel Van Tonder, who earned the Challenge Tour and Sunshine Tour win at Zebula Golf Estate & Spa in Limpopo, South Africa.
Van Tonder won the event in a playoff over Altin Van Der Merwe after both players finished tied after 72 holes of regulation at 16-under 272. Van Tonder tracked down Van Der Merwe on the back nine, as the leader stumbled to a closing 74 and Van Tonder surged.
In the sudden-death playoff, Van Tonder prevailed to win the tournament to earn his third win of the Sunshine Tour season.
Liam Nolan finished in solo third place, a shot out of the playoff.
Van Tonder won the €56,832.53 winner's share of the $375,000 purse.
