Simpson, the leader of this season’s The Courier Guy Order of Merit once again celebrated his love-affair with golf in Zambia, having won the 2025 Mopani Zambia Open and finished joint fifth in last week’s Mopani Zambia Open.

(@Sunshine_Tour) June 21, 2026 Pieter Moolman (64) and Simon du Plooy (65) set the initial clubhouse lead on 17-under par, after closing with respective back-to-back birdies over the closing two holes. An eagle on the 17th followed by birdie on the 18th however gave Samuel Simpson (66) the lead on 18-under par, with a tense wait in the clubhouse that ensued. With the closing group of Oliver Goldhill (70) and Haydn Porteous (71) joining Pieter Moolman and Simon du Plooy on 17-under par, Simpson celebrated
his third Sunshine Tour title, after also clinching the recent Mediclinic Invitational. Graham van der Merwe (68) finished on 16-under par in sixth place. The KCM Golf Challenge also produced the fourth player to record a hole-in-one this season when Christiaan Burke aced the 150m par three ninth hole with a pitching wedge.
