Player Takes Title By Four Strokes - Johannesburg, January 18, 1959. 

Gary Player beat out South African master Bobby Locke at the Transvaal Open championship, setting a new course record in the process at Kensington. 

“It was during those 16 vital holes in the afternoon that Player revealed his class as a world golfer.
