The Final

Ernie Els

Two determined teenagers took a big stand against cancer when they emerged the winning side of this year's Sanlam Cancer Challenge at Sun City.

Thirteen-year-old Shawnelle de Lange from Fochville and 15-year-old Benji van de Rheede from Kleinzee beat their fellow rivals for the womens A and mens C division titles respectively and the overall womens and mens titles.

De Lange and Van de Rheede were both inspired to enter Africa's biggest amateur tournament by their own experience with cancer.
"My younger sister Monique passed away last November after a long battle with leukemia and I entered to honour my sister," said De Lange, the youngest finalist this year.

The Springbok scholar said his mother's battle with cancer served as his inspiration.

Message from Ernie Els

The Sanlam Cancer Challenge has been built up over the years by the South African golf community. I am particularly proud to be part of this process as I think every golfer who participates in the good cause should be.

So many people do so much to make the Club Competitions possible. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the golf clubs and their management who take up the Challenge each year for their members and for CANSA.

I hope 2011 is a successfull year for you and Sanlam Cancer Challenge. Good luck.

To those playing this year: Thank you for playing a round for CANSA.
