South Africa's George Coetzee put home advantage to full use to win his second European Tour title in the Tshwane Open. Coetzee carded a flawless final round of 65 to finish one shot ahead of compatriot Jacques Blaauw at Pretoria Country Club, the course where he has been a member since taking up the game and won his first junior competition aged 10. Blaauw had charged through the field with a stunning closing 61 to equal the course record and set the clubhouse target at 13 under par, with the final groups still having nine holes to play. George Coetzee plays a shot during the final round of the Tshwane Open at Pretoria Country Club . Coetzee relaxes with the trophy after winning the second European Tour title of his career . However, Coetzee - who was one of six players sharing the lead overnight - was just one behind after finishing his front nine with three birdies in four holes and picked up two more shots on the back nine to seal victory. The decisive moment came on the 17th after Coetzee had tried to drive the green on the short par four. His tee shot came up in the trees, short of the green but with a clear path between two bunkers, and the world number 87 took full advantage, chipping to five feet and holing for a birdie to take a one-shot lead down the last. 'I think I've got this course down after 18 years of playing golf,' joked Coetzee, whose previous win also came on home soil at the Joburg Open last year. 'I know when I am comfortable hitting drivers and going for par fours or being aggressive and attacking flags and I think today played to my advantage knowing when to be aggressive and when not to. Coetzee  walks over a bridge with playing partner Trevor Fisher Jnr during the final round . 'I drew on my experiences of winning club championships here. I actually threw one away by playing it conservative on 17. So today it was quite an easy decision. I knew I was going to hit driver no matter what, because I don't know how to play that hole with an iron! 'To win at your home club, in front of all your friends and family, it's a great experience and a very special day for me. The crowds were amazing. I could just feel the momentum building and the crowd felt like it was getting bigger and bigger the closer we got to the end.' Speaking immediately after his round, Blaauw said: 'It was fun out there, everything just went in. 'I got a bit of luck on nine when I hit it left but had a swing and got it up and down it for birdie and then after that made some putts. It's always good to be in contention in these big events coming down the stretch.' Scotland's Craig Lee was just one off the lead when he carded his fourth birdie of the day on the 14th, but bogeyed the next and then took a double bogey on the last to drop back to nine under alongside South African pair Dean Burmester and Tjaart van der Walt.
