	    	><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The fourth World Club Pro-Am supported by the PGA of South Africa is finely poised going into Round 05, as Pierre van Vuuren (PGA of South Africa) and Garry Houston (PGA of Great Britain &amp; Ireland) have a share of the lead.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Both professionals find themselves on 153 points (-9), after Round 04 of the event was played at Durban Country Club.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Houston </b>started the day in second place, two points behind <b>van Vuuren</b>, and soon closed the gap, making birdie on the par-three 2nd. Further birdies followed on the 3rd and 8th for a front nine of 21 points (-3).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Brit bogeyed the 10th, but recovered the shot on the par-four 14th to finish with a three-under round of 69 (39 points).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">PGA of South Africa Professional, <b>van Vuuren, </b>also started his round with a birdie on the 2nd and reached the turn on even par (18 points).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coming home, <b>van Vuuren </b>struggled to create any clear scoring opportunities, but closed his round with a birdie on the 18th for a 37 point round of 71 (-1).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only two points adrift and hot on the heels of the leaders is 2016 World Club Pro-Am Champion, <b>Julien Gressier</b> of the PGA of France, with 151 points (-7).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Frenchman led the tournament after the first two rounds, but struggled in Round 03 at the Beachwood Country Club. However, after a two-under round of 70 (38 points), he very much remains in contention to defend his title.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An honourable mention must go to PGA of Germany Professional, <b>Christoph Günther,</b> who carded a remarkable hole-in-one albatross on the par-four 18th.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Team Serengeti </b>completed a wire-to-wire success to win the four-round Team Pro-Am Competition. The quartet consisting of <b>van Vuuren</b>, and amateurs<b> John-Miles Griffiths, Izak Ludick</b> and <b>Hennie Lamprecht</b>, finished with a total of 367 points (-79), after their final round of 92 points (-20).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Three points back were <b>Team Windsor Park, </b>led by <b>Nisharlan Sewshanker</b> (PGA of South Africa), who scored 95 points (-23) in their final round, to give them 364 points (-76) in total.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Completing the top three with 355 points, was <b>Team Strand 2 </b>led by PGA of South Africa Professional, <b>Morne Jurgens.</b></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Round 05 of the individual contest stays at Durban Country Club, as the field play for the 2017 World Club Pro-Am title.</p>
