A 15-foot eagle putt on the 16th proved decisive as Schwartzel, 22, captured his second European Tour title by one shot from Indian Jyoti Randhawa.They both had the bulk of their third rounds to play as well as the closing 18 holes because of rain delays.But Schwartzel
shot rounds of 68 and 67 to win with a 16-under-par total.”It feels good. People said I’d won on the European Tour before but that was in South Africa (the 2005 Dunhill Championship). I said I could do it in Europe too and it was just a matter of time before it all clicked in.”The three shots on the 16th were probably the three best I hit all week.It’s not a tee shot to laugh at with water all down the left, but I hit itperfectly and then had the perfect three-iron yardage.”It was a nervy finish to both rounds Schwartzel played on Sunday, though. He double-bogeyed the 18th on his first visit of the day and when returning there with a two-shot lead was twice in rough, but escaped with a bogey that proved good enough.Spaniard Carlos Rodiles, needing a birdie to tie, found heavy rough left of the green and bogeyed.For Randhawa it was a fourth runners-up finish - but he has tasted victoryseven times in Asia.Rodiles dropped to third, a shot ahead of Foster and Dyson, who finished five shots adrift.
