Speaking after his victory, Baldwin said: “It felt surreal, I never dreamt I would be able to play the 18th hole of a DP World tournament knowing I’m going to win.
“It’s not quite sunk in yet, I’m sure it will do tomorrow or in a couple of days.”
Looking to the rest of the campaign, Baldwin added: “I can’t wait, this [victory] proves a lot to me, it proves I’m good enough to be out here, I’ve had plenty of doubts over the last few years.”
He dedicated his championship win to his late step-dad.
“It’s been a tough 12 months with my step-dad dying, this win is for him,” he added.
Baldwin is set to feature in the Jonsson Workwear Open at Steyn City in Johannesburg, South Africa.
