A look back at the top shots from the SA Open, where Graeme Storm claimed a dramatic victory

From hole-out eagles to a stunning hole-in-one, we look back at the shots of the week from the BMW SA Open, where Graeme Storm lifted the trophy.

The tournament saw a dramatic finale at Glendower GC, as Storm upstaged world No 2 Rory McIlroy in a play-off to claim a first European Tour victory in a decade.

McIlroy was in contention throughout the week and bolstered his chances of a winning start to 2017 when he holed from the fairway during his third round.

Jordan Smith claimed a career-best third spot, with the Englishman temporarily moving top of the leaderboard on the final day following an incredible second shot at the par-five 15th.

Smith almost went inches away from a hole-in-one on the opening day, while home favourite Jaco Van Zyl went one better at the par-three 17th on Friday to post the second ace of the season.

Elsewhere, Mikko Korhonen experienced a moment of horror when he pitched in to the cup – only for his ball to jump back out a few inches from the flag!
