Max Homa Claims First International Victory at Nedbank Golf Challenge

Win Secures Rory McIlroy's Fifth Race to Dubai Title

Max Homa wins the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa, his first international victory, finishing at 19 under for the tournament, four shots ahead of Nicolai Hojgaard.
Homa's victory secures Rory McIlroy's fifth Race to Dubai title at next week's season finale, as McIlroy cannot be caught by second-placed Jon Rahm.
Homa's final round included six birdies, an eagle and two bogeys, with consecutive birdies on the 15th and 16th holes securing his lead.
Homa hadn't played since the Ryder Cup in Italy that finished on Oct. 1, where he collected 3 1/2 points to be the highest scorer for the U.S. in its loss to Europe.
The Nedbank Golf Challenge is considered by some as 'Africa's Major' and is the next-to-last event of the season in Europe ahead of next week's DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
