INTERESTING FACTS & FIGURES
Boats, as Desvonde is also known, won the South African Amateur Championship in 1991 at the age of 16 years and five months beating Ernie Els's record by 20 days. He has half an extra vertebrae in his lower back which had been a problem in the past but is now fine. He achieved the course record nine under-par 63 at Woodhill Country Club during the Telkom PGA Championship, together with Mark McNulty, during the 2002/2003 season.
