Jean Hugo claims a share of fifth in France, Darren Fichardt ties for 11th in Spain and South African Seniors, Tony Johnstone, Gavan Levenson, Bertus Smit and John Mashego, rock with
top-10 finishes in Cornwall.
Ben Curtis fired a final round two-under-par 70 for a two-shot victory over Charles Howell II at the 84 Lumber Classic on Sunday, finishing nine shots ahead of South Africa’s Rory Sabbatini, who closed on five-under-par 283.
None of the eight South Africans that competed in the First Stage of European Qualifying School were successful. At Oxfordshire Golf Club, Leonard Loxton missed the final round cut by one shot, while Henk Alberts missed by two at the Chart Hills Golf Club.
England's Paul Casey boost his confidence ahead of the Ryder Cup by beating Shaun Micheel of the USA by a record margin to win the HSBC World Match Play Championship and pocket the biggest prize in golf. Casey, 29, won by 10 and 8 at Wentworth, southwest of London, to eclipse Nick Faldo's 8 & 7 win over Jeff Sluman in 1992 and take the winner's check of 1 million pounds ($1.9 million).
Ranked 27th in the world, Casey - the guy in a red shirt and a swoosh - was three up at lunch after shooting a three-under-par 69 in the first of two rounds. He then increased the advantage to nine after he shot a 31 in the next nine holes while Micheel countered with a 37. The players shook hands at the next hole.
