Spanish ace Pablo Martin will be eyeing an historic hat-trick when he returns to the Leopard Creek golf course for the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
Last year Martin, 25, won by two over Anthony Michael, Thorbjorn Olesen and South Africa's Charl Schwartzel, after defeating Schwartzel by one stroke in 2009.
Should he win, Martin would join Ian Woosnam (1990-92 Monte Carlo Open), Sir Nick Faldo (1991-93 Irish Open), Tiger Woods (1999-2001 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) and Ernie Els (2002-04 Heineken Classic), as the only players to win the same European Tour event three times in a row.

"It would be great to win it again. Three times would be special and if I do it, I will be taking that trophy home, even if they won't let me," Martin has said to the media.
But the Spaniard has hardly set the tour alight this season with a best placed finish of second back in April at the Volvo China Open.
