Team South Africa are the 2026 All Africa Team Championship golf champions, closing with a team round of 202 in Tunisia on Saturday to finish on 624 and beat Morocco by four shots for a record-extending 13th continental title.

Morocco had led by eight strokes overnight. By the time the last South African card was signed, the margin had swung twelve the other way.

Final team standings: 1. South Africa — 624 (-24) 2. Morocco — 628 (-20) 3. Zambia — 646 (-2)

The championship runs over 54 holes with four players in each team and only the best three scores counting in any round, so one bad card can be thrown away and the other three have to carry the day.

Chasing Morocco At The All Africa Team Championship

South Africa opened with 214, two under par as a team, and sat fourth. Morocco went out in 205, eleven under, with Mohamed Bouhamou’s 66 leading the field by three.

The second round was where the gap started closing. Ivan Verster signed for a four-under 68, CJ van Wyk and Jonathan Wilsenach both returned 70s, and the 208 that came out of it moved South Africa to ten under and into second place.

Morocco still led, on 414 to South Africa’s 422, with eight shots between them going into Saturday.

Two 66s On The Final Day Judd Sundelson and Wilsenach both shot six-under 66 on the closing round. Van Wyk added a 70, and the three of them produced 202, fourteen under par as a team. That left Verster’s 74 as the score South Africa could discard. Morocco went the other way. Bouhamou, the first-round leader, came home in 77, and Morocco’s counting total for the day was 214.

Jonathan Wilsenach Makes A Debut Count Wilsenach, the Ekurhuleni golfer and the only new cap in the side, finished second in the individual championship on 208, eight under par. He went 72, 70, 66, improving in every round of his first tournament for South Africa. Sundelson, the reigning South African Amateur champion, was third on 209, seven under, tied with Morocco’s Reda El Hali. Van Wyk and Verster both closed on 212, four under, in a share of fifth. All four South Africans finished inside the top five.

Adrian Andrade Takes The Individual Title Seychelles golfer Adrian Andrade won the individual championship on 205, eleven under par, with rounds of 69, 64 and 72. He finished three clear of Wilsenach. His second-round 64 was the lowest single round of the week by four shots.

A Record Field Of 17 Nations The 2026 edition drew 17 countries, the largest field in the championship’s history, after late withdrawals by Tanzania and Sierra Leone. It was played at the Golf Citrus La Foret Course in Hammamet and run by the Africa Golf Confederation with the Tunisian Golf Federation and the R&A. South Africa arrived as defending champions, having taken their 12th title in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe in 2024. The squad was managed by South African Golf Association president Peet van Schalkwyk.
