Da Silva had the chance to force a playoff, but his birdie putt on the last missed by inches. Overnight leader Merrick Bremner closed with a 70 to finish on 15 under par.<\/p>\n<p>Blaauw has now won the first two tournaments on this year\u2019s Vodacom Origins series after breaking through with his maiden professional triumph at Simola at the beginning of this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis gives me huge confidence. I\u2019m on top of the world. It\u2019s all about gaining experience this, and I want to ride this wave as long as I can,\u201d said Blaauw.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson learnt in closing out a tournament before this was certainly evident in Blaauw\u2019s approach to the final round.<\/p>\n<p>Starting the round three off the lead of Bremner, Blaauw put everything into a brilliant front nine of 30.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to start fast on this golf course. I knew I had to get up to Merrick\u2019s score pretty quickly and put pressure on him, which I did. I think that front nine was probably my best golf this year. Everything just clicked. And then I did well to keep it steady on the back nine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving won before definitely helped me to close out the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-close-to-second-victory-in-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/3fe47_180692320_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-close-to-second-victory-in-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bremner close to victory in Vodacom Origins<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/blaauw-blows-them-away-to-win-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/3fe47_176018020_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/blaauw-blows-them-away-to-win-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blaauw blows them away to win Vodacom Origins<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-hits-all-the-good-shots-at-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/3fe47_180344434_80_80.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mysport24.co.za\/bremner-hits-all-the-good-shots-at-vodacom-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bremner hits all the good shots at Vodacom Origins<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/plugins\/rss-poster\/cache\/903b7_zemified_h.png\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacques Blaauw won his second title on this year\u2019s Vodacom Origins of Golf series at Selborne Park Golf Club on Friday.
