AUGUSTA, Georgia, (Reuters) – South African Charl Schwartzel birdied the last four holes to clinch his first major title with a two-stroke victory at the Masters yesterday, ending a stunning afternoon of brilliant shot-making.
Schwartzel, who began the final round at Augusta National four strokes off the pace, rolled in a 20-footer on the 18th green to complete a six-under-par 66, the day’s lowest score.
