Ross Fisher has won the Tshwane Open in Centurion, South Africa.

The 33-year-old clinched the tournament by three shots, finishing ahead of Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey and Danie van Tonder of South Africa.

Fisher began the fourth and final round on Sunday five shots clear at the top of the leaderboard, but had his advantage trimmed down to two when he stepped onto his 15th tee.

However, the Englishman recovered thereafter and eventually finished on 20 under after carding a two-under-par 70.

"It was testing out there owing to the weather conditions so I am thrilled to be champion," BBC Sport quotes Fisher as saying. "I had a couple of wobbles but always believed the trophy would be mine. The 15th was the key hole.

"It was my second birdie of the tournament there and I felt confident about the putt after taking my time reading the line.

"Putting has been my Achilles heel for many, many years, but I loved the greens here and got the lines correct most of the time."

It was Fisher's fifth victory on the European Tour and leaves his 16th in the Ryder Cup standings.
