Biography
Chris played his first game of golf at Warmbaths Golf Club
at the tender age of 11, and found himself in love with the
game almost from day one. His amateur career was littered
with achievement, and it very much began in his junior
years. Chris represented Gauteng North at the Junior
Interprovincial in 2002, and also represented the Limpopo
U23's in 2001 and 2002.
He began to get recognition in the senior ranks, and also
represented Limpopo in 2002 and 2003 at the Senior
Interprovincials. After enjoying such a successful stint as
an amateur, Chris decided to turn pro at the end of 2003,
and embark upon a new chapter in his golfing career.
Chris cut his teeth on the Sunshine Tour and had a
challenging time of it in his first couple of years on tour.
However, in 2006 he began to assert his authority, claiming
numerous top 10 finishes and eventually coming 40th in the
2006 Order of Merit. However, Chris's big breakthrough came
the following year when he claimed his first victory ? the
Eskom Power Cup. He went on to finish 30th in the order of
merit that year.
His 2008 season was blighted by a broken arm and subsequent
complications, which meant he was out for 9 months. He's
since bounced back brilliantly, and a 4th place finish at
the 2010 Africa Open resulted in his biggest pay-out to
date. Two more wins since has meant that Chris is one of the
stalwarts of the tour, and he has a bright future ahead of
him.
In his spare time, Chris is a professional hunter, and also
enjoys fishing. He is married, and currently resides in
Pretoria. Although he's never had a hole in one, he's had
two albatrosses. Chris is also a massive fan of braaivleis,
and likes listening to the music of Robbie Wessels.
