Can Dylan Frittelli keep it rolling in his home city? The 27-year-old Johannesburg native is riding high after his second win in 2017 at the Mauritius Open. It capped a stretch that shows a T2, T42, T4, T16 and a win, with the T4 coming against an elite field at the DP World Tour Championship.

His win earlier in the year at the Lyoness Open also played a part in him earning Challenge Tour graduate of the year honors.

The former University of Texas Longhorn finished 94th on the European Tour last season in driving accuracy but could bomb it at 20th in distance. When he’s in the short grass, watch out: He was 31st in GIR, but just 144th in putts per round.

Last week in Mauritius, he overcame his 51st ranking in the field in putts per round thanks to finishing first in GIR (80.6 percent).
