December 2, 2013. The 29-year-old South African, Charl Schwartzel ensured to retain his claim over the Alfred Dunhill Championship title after shooting a 4-under 68 on Sunday.
“This tournament has been very good to me,” Schwartzel said after the win. “I’ve had lots of seconds here as well. Probably for the rest of my golfing career this will always be a special one.”
Schwartzel finished with a 17-under total of 271 at Leopard Creek to secure his third Alfred Dunhill title with a four shot lead over Richard Finch. Finch finished second, while Simon Dyson, Ross Fisher and Romain Wattel tied for third.
In his first European title win of the year, Schwartzel held the overnight lead and made four birdies in a bogey-free final round on a course where he has a history of stellar results.
The South African has four second-place finishes here to go with his three titles. It was his second title on the European Tour since winning the Masters in 2011.
Schwartzel’s ninth career win on the European Tour returned him to the top 20 in the world rankings.
The 29-year-old Schwartzel went the last 62 holes of the Alfred Dunhill without dropping a shot after a double bogey on No. 10 in his first round.
