Kleinmond, South Africa (SportsNetwork.com) – Jean Hugo carded a 3-under 69 on Friday to claim a 1-stroke victory at the Vodacom Origins of Golf.<\/p>\n
Hugo earned his 15th career victory on the Sunshine Tour at 7-under-par 137. It was Hugo’s ninth Vodacom Origins of Golf series title.<\/p>\n
The tournament was shortened to just 36 holes after the second round was suspended due to heavy winds and Friday’s action saw rain also suspend play.<\/p>\n
Hugo started fast with back-to-back birdies at the first and second, but then gave those shots right back with consecutive bogeys at the fourth and fifth to fall back to minus-4.<\/p>\n
A birdie at the eighth moved him to 5-under at the turn and after trading a bogey at the 10th with a birdie at the 11th, Hugo closed his round with birdies at the 13th and 18th to claim the 1-shot win.<\/p>\n
First-round leader Rhys West managed just a 1-under 71 during his second round at Arabella Country Club to fall into second place at 6-under 138.<\/p>\n
Chris Swanepoel (71), Trevor Fisher, Jr. (72), Ulrich van den Berg (70) and Adilson Da Silva (71) shared third at minus-5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
