    Former South African professional golfer Vincent Tshabalala passed away this weekend at the age of 75, after a short illness.

    Tshabalala was born in Johannesburg and featured on the European Tour, where he won the 1976 French Open, because of the apartheid laws not being allowed to play on the local tour.

    Once the ban was lifted, he won two events on home soil.

    Later, Tshabalala progressed to the European Seniors Tour, where he finished in the top 20 of the money list on four ocassions.
