Alex Noren overturns 6-shot defecit to win

Takes 2016 winnings to £2,600,000.00

Alex Noren is on fire, Simple as that. On. Fire... 4 months. 4 wins.

He won the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open in July, the Omega European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre Switzerland in September, the British Masters in October and now the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player.

"That's right, ruin my only clean shirt..."

The 34-year-old produced a sensational nine-under-par round of 63 to finish on 14 under and clinch his fourth European Tour title of the season.

"This was the round of my life," said Noren, who now enters the world's top 10 for the first time in his career.

Noren walked away with a winner's cheque of more than £903,000 last night to take his earnings for the year above £2.6m. Two years ago, he won less than £5,000 for the season. For all those big names fighting for their lives at Q-School right now, it's time to take inspiration.

Fellow Swede Henrik Stenson still leads the Race to Dubai after finishing eighth on six under. Danny Willett remains second, after he finished tied 11th on -3 at Sun City, with Noren now breathing down their necks in third place.

The Race to Dubai finale is the DP World Tour Championship in the Gulf state, which starts on 17th November.
