Rensburg challenged John Pulman for the World Championship title in early 1966. Pulman had played a series of matches against Rex Williams in South Africa in late 1965. Rensburg lost by 12 frames to 39. [2]
Van Rensburg also held the South African Professional Championship from 1950, taking the title from Peter Mans, and defending it on a challenge basis until 1965 when he lost it to Perrie Mans, son of Peter. [3] [2]
