Schwartzel, whose previous highest pay cheque was the $1.4m he scooped for winning the 2011 Masters, ended up on seven-under with Du Plessis finishing one stroke back. Another South African, Branden Grace, finished third on five under.“You know, it’s a relief,” Schwartzel, who picked up an added $750,000 for being part of the winning team, said.
Organisers will point to decent-sized crowds, plenty of glitz and the presence of big names including six-time Major champion Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia. “For 27 years there have been a lot of obstacles put in our path, a lot of dreams [they] have tried to squash but they couldn't squash us.”
