Goosen gives up on title

Retief Goosen has all but given up his title of European number one, with fellow South African Ernie Els set to replace him.

Goosen took a one-shot lead into today’s second round of the final-ever Lancome Trophy in Paris, but even his second victory at St Nom-la-Breteche on Sunday would barely make a dent in Els’ lead on the money list.
