South African undergoes Sterne test to win 4th European Tour title

MALELANE, South Africa: South Africa's Richard Sterne finally tamed Leopard Creek's hazardous 18th hole when he captured his fourth European Tour title with a one-stroke win in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek on Sunday.

Sterne completed his final round in a three-under-par 69 for a total of 17-under 271 to finish one stroke ahead of Johan Edfors of Sweden and Robert Rock of England.

Sterne played the steadiest golf of the leading contenders, with third round leader Thomas Aiken of South Africa slipping to a 75 for a share of fourth place with Rafael Carbrero Bello of Spain.
