Who won the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Championship? Final leaderboard explored

The Alfred Dunhill Championship concluded on Sunday, December 10 at Leopard Creek Country Club in South Africa, with LIV Golf players taking top honors.

South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen became the third LIV Golf player to win a DP World Tour tournament in the last two months with victory at the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Dean Burmester (Joburg Open and South African Open) and Joaquin Niemann (Australian Open) did it before.

Oosthuizen was two strokes ahead of compatriot and teammate at LIV Golf circuit Charl Schwartzel. Both were tied at the top of the leaderboard of the Alfred Dunhill Championship after the third day. So they were grouped together to play the fourth and decisive round, which proved to be very competitive.

Oosthuizen and Schwartzel went head to head during the front nine of the fourth round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship, from which both came out with even par scores which kept the tie for first place. At the 12th, Charl Scwartzel led by one stroke but could only manage par on his last six holes.

Louis Oosthuizen, on the other hand, recovered and made three consecutive birdies between the 13th and 15th. It was more than enough to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship title. The third place went to another South African, Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
