Super Charl Schwartzel blazes home eight shots clear

Pre-tournament favourite Charl Schwartzel cruised to victory in the Tshwane Open to claim his 11th European Tour title and an eighth on home soil, despite admitting to some “iffy” moments.

Schwartzel held a one-shot lead heading into the final round and carded a closing 63 to finish 16 under par at Pretoria Country Club, eight shots ahead of Denmark’s Jeff Winther.

Winther surged through the field thanks to a 64 as the expected challenge from rising South African stars Zander Lombard and Haydn Porteous failed to materialise.
