Schwartzel wins it

MALELANE, South Africa—Charl Schwartzel was the runaway winner for the second time in a week as he coasted to a 12-shot victory at the European Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa on Sunday.

The former Masters champion had a 24-under-par score of 264 at Leopard Creek Country Club to improve on an 11-shot win in Thailand last weekend.

The South African cruised to his eighth career title on the European Tour with a final-round 3-under 69 to win ahead of Sweden’s Kristoffer Broberg on 12 under. Schwartzel also won this tournament for his first title on the Tour back in 2004.
