Scot Calum Hill has returned to Johannesburg for a second occasion in nine months and on a high as he heads into the week’s Alfred Dunhill Championship in the South African capital. In March, Hill ended a four-year victory drought cutting a swathe through the final round field, coming from eight shots back in posting a sizzling 62 under a ‘one-club’ preferred lie rule on the rain-softened Houghton course fairways to grab the clubhouse lead ahead of a near hour long wait to be crowned champion. Hill emerged ...
