Different setting, same result - Charl Schwartzel celebrates at the Alfred Dunhill Championship

 

 

Malelane, South Africa - For the second time in 7 days, Charl Schwartzel blitzed an

international field by a double digit margin . . . this time by 12 at the Alfred Dunhill

Championship at Leopard Creek Country Club.The South African entered Sunday with a

ten shot lead, his final round 69 pushed the final tally to 12 (last week in Thailand he won

by 11) and a score of -24 with rounds of 67-64-64-69 = 264.The win was Schwartzel's

eighth European Tour victory.

 

Schwartzel was somewhat surprised by his two week romp. ""That doesn't happen often,"

he said. "Normally after a win by such a big margin, it's hard to put up the same show the

next week. It's satisfying to continue that form and play the same sort of golf. I keep talking

about consistency, and mine is back where I like it to be."

 

Kristoffer Broberg was secong at -12, Gregory Bourdy, Scott Jamieson, Garth Mulroy, and

Andy Sullivan all finished a "baker's dozen" behind the 2011 Masters Champion.

 

A rare feat occurred during the championship, Keith Horne aced the par 3 - 12th hole both

Friday & Saturday.

took on extreme conditions and bested the field of flat bellies at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney.

par 72 for a total of -4 (284 strokes).

caddying, this one was special.Senior was clearly just as excited for his bagman "It doesn't get

any better than this, we've had 3 years on tour where Mitch caddied for me, and we've lost 3

playoffs, so it feels unbelievable to win with him on the bag".

down under, shot 73 to finish third.Englishman Justin Rose ended up fourth after a Sunday 76.
