Zimbabwe’s Brendon De Jonge finished out of the top 10 at the US Open after ending on tied 28th on the last day of play.

The Zimbabwean had started off well with a second place finish on the opening day of play before slipping to 10th on the second day and 21st on the third day before moving to 28th overally.

After starting off with an impressive two under par 68, De Jonge disappointed on the last day after hitting 79 which saw him end up with a total score of 287 tied with former world number one Phil Mickelson, Graeme McDowell, Daniel Berger, Kenny Perry, Chris Kirk, and Victor Dubuisson.

    Cant the idiots at the Zimbabwean spell the names of the players correctly. To claim that Zimbabwe has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa is a sick joke.

    If one notices it is always people at international level and they hail from Mashonaland do you think that region that Bob is always trying to deprive for reasons unbeknown to him does not have talented people from the minority groups?
