Kruyswijk cards final round 67 to win the Kenya Open
The South African shot a 4-under 67 at Nairobi's Muthaiga GC to finish 18 under for the tournament and two strokes clear of second-place John Parry (68).
The 32-year-old Kruyswijk completed the weekend bogey free and carded four birdies in the final round.
Having started the day one shot ahead, Kruyswijk was overtaken by Parry within five holes, but back-to-back birdies on Nos. 6 and 7 saw him regain the lead.
'I'm happy that I can keep the trophy on African soil and obviously bring it back to South Africa,' Kruyswijk said.

Robert MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton clinch automatic qualifying spots on European Ryder Cup team
He was unable to fend off Scottie Scheffler and win the BMW Championship, but Robert MacIntyre did earn himself an automatic qualifying spot on the European team for the 2025 Ryder Cup. MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton each officially made the squad on Monday when the team rankings were updated. In fact, MacIntyre is now second behind Rory McIlroy among the Euros. Tommy Fleetwood is No. 3, Justin Rose is No. 4 and Hatton is No. 5. That leaves just one automatic spot left, and the latest rankings show a flip at No. 6. Last week it was Sepp Straka, but he's now No. 7, while Shane Lowry is the new No. 6. The Betfred British Masters, this week's event on the DP World Tour, is the final tournament before the top six auto qualifiers are finalized. Then, it'll be up to European team captain Luke Donald to make his six selections to round out the 12-man squad for Bethpage in September.

No one wants this honour! How a BVB player broke a world record in Essen
The first round of the DFB-Pokal has so far only had a few surprises in store. Will there be a big one today? Borussia Dortmund is challenged by the third division team from Essen. RWE against BVB - wasn't there something?! 🤔 It's already been 17 years since both clubs last met in the DFB-Pokal. Jürgen Klopp made his debut as BVB coach back then and substituted Bajram Sadrijaj for Giovanni Federico in the 71st minute. Not very spectacular. But just 12 seconds later, the BVB talent had to leave the pitch again. Please what?! 🙄! Watch all DFB-Pokal games in the Sky live stream on OneFootball. Every game is available as pay-per-view for €4.99 in our the time, it was the fastest red card in professional football. Sadrijaj had previously completely over-motivated his opponent. "I take 70 percent of the blame for the red card," Klopp said afterwards (quote via ' "Before the substitution, I had asked him to really go for the ball. Although I didn't want Bajram to implement my statement so consistently." The then 21-year-old, who made his professional debut in this game, saw the scene around his red card a bit differently: "I didn't see the scene as dramatic, although it looked pretty bad on TV. I slid frontally towards him, neither stretched nor sideways, and hit him along with the ball. Seeing red right away was a shock - many thought that in other European leagues it would have just been a throw-in." Later, Sadrijaj made his Bundesliga debut - this time without a red card. However, repeated injuries prevented a bigger career. In 2010, his contract was terminated, and according to ' he ended his career in 2017 after stints with lower-class clubs. He also had to give up his record. The Japanese player Tomo Sugawara saw the red card after just nine seconds in a professional game on April 15, 2009.
