With final-round 65, Goosen surges to one-shot victory in Africa Open
EAST LONDON, South Africa (PA) -- Retief Goosen fired a brilliant final round of 65 on Sunday to win the Africa Open at East London Golf Club.
The former U.S. Open champion carded eight birdies and survived a last-hole bogey to finish 21 under par, one shot clear of overnight joint leader Darren Clarke, Michael Hoey, Branden Grace and Darren Fichardt.
Goosen began the day four shots behind Clarke and South African James Kingston, but Clarke could only manage a 70 and Kingston a 73 to open the door for the chasing pack in the Southern Africa Tour event.
Grace and Hoey moved through the field with rounds of 65 and 66, respectively, while halfway leader Angel Cabrera finished in a tie for ninth after a second consecutive 72.
