Cape Town - South Africa's Branden Grace has cashed in on the lucrative $5 million Race to Dubai bonus pool which is shared among the final Top 10 finishers for the season.
On Sunday, Tommy Fleetwood signed for a closing 74 to finish in a tie for 21st to end the season as Europe's No 1 and clinch his maiden Race to Dubai title.
Earlier this month, Grace became the first South African in a decade to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player at Sun City.
Grace finished 10th in the standings with 2 252 135 points earning him $250 000 (R3.5 million).
Grace finished tied 31st at 7-under par in Dubai - 12 shots behind overall tournament winner, Spain's Jon Rahm.
Other South Africans in fine form in Dubai included Dean Burmester and Dylan Frittelli, who both shared fourth on 17-under-par - two shots behind Rahm.
It's been a great European Tour season for South African golfers, as there have been six winners - just one fewer than England, who had 7.
Those SA victors include: Brandon Stone (Alfred Dunhill Championship), Darren Fichardt (Joburg Open), Burmester (Tshwane Open), Frittelli (Lyoness Open), Haydn Porteous (Czech Masters) and Grace (Nedbank Golf Challenge).
