\u201cI didn\u2019t really know what the scores were,\u201d Hollick said. \u201cI hit two perfect five irons on 17th and 18th, so couldn\u2019t have asked for much more, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollick had bogeyed the 16th and Du Plessis was two shots clear at the top coming into the 17th, but a bogey-par finish kept him at 17 under for the tournament.<\/p>\n
