Sterne claims Dunhill title after rivals stumble

Richard Sterne was the main benefactor on the final day of the Alfred Dunhill Championship clinching the tournament by one shot after both Thomas Aiken and Len Mattiace threw away their overnight advantages at the Leopard Creek Golf Club.

The 27-year-old South African carded a final round three-under-par 69 on Sunday for an overall total of 271, making the most of constant lapses from overnight leader Aiken and American Mattiace, who ended day four with scores of 75 and 77 respectively.
