A familiar name in South African golf for many years but only just becoming known in Europe after deciding to play the Challenge Tour full time this year. It was a sound move as the 37 year old won the opening tournament, the Tusker Kenya Open in Nairobi. After attending the Oral Roberts College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he became an All American in 1984, Roestoff established himself on the South African Tour after turning pro in 1987, winning the ICL International in 1995 in Pretoria, one of 13 tournament victories back home. Overall, he has finished in the top 20 for the last six years on the Sunshine Tour.
