Charl Schwartzel clinches 2011 US Masters


Its good to see another South African take the Masters Cup, all in all Charl Schwartzel is the 3rd South African to take the coveted Masters trophy. More after the jump:




Four birdies on the final four holes, helped South African Charl Schwartzel clinch his first major golf title with a two-stroke win at the Masters.




"Cool house bru"
 
Schwartzel began the final round at Augusta National four strokes off the pace, he rolled in a seven metre putt on the 18th to complete a 6-under- 66 and finish at 14 under for the tournament.

Schwartzel said winning this tournament is a dream come true.

Rory McIllroy, who had led for the first three rounds, went into the final round with a four shot lead but had a horror back nine carding an eight over par 80, to finish at four under and tied for 15th.




Schwartzel is the third South African to win the Masters, following three time winner Gary Player and 2008 winner Trevor Immelman.
