Bezuidenhout will be hoping to join the ranks of the three South Africans who have already had the honour of being called Masters winners. Gary Player donned the green jacket three times while Trevor Immelman and Charl Schwartzel also brought home bragging rights.

Thus far only six South Africans have qualified to compete in the upcoming tournament.

South Africans took to Twitter as well to congratulate Bezuidenhout on his achievement.
