SCHWARTZEL WINS ALFRED DUNHILL CHAMPIONSHIP AGAIN
Charl Schwartzel retained his Alfred Dunhill Championship title with final round of 68. His steady play earned him a four-shot victory over nearest challenger, England's Richard Finch at Leopard Creek.
Schwartzel started the day with a two-shot lead but Finch turned up the heat and close to within a shot at the turn. However the former Masters champion made his third four-under round of 68 of the week to close on 17-under par and enjoy a four-shot victory over Finch.
Schwartzel is always comfortable at Leopard Creek and plotted his way around the back nine with just one birdie whilst Finch floundered with a bogey and a double in four holes effectively ending his challenge.
