Goosen claims title despite last hole hiccup

RETIEF GOOSEN admitted he had ridden his luck after surviving a last hole stumble to claim his second victory in the space of a week in the Linde German Masters.

Goosen held a two-shot lead playing the 18th but drove into the water to the left of the fairway and missed from four feet to save his par after a superb recovery.

Overnight joint leaders Nick Dougherty and Henrik Stenson needed to birdie the last to force a play-off but were unable to take advantage of Goosen’s slip-up.
