Ernie Els has just edged Retief Goosen by a shot to win his national championship for the 5th time..
Playing 36 holes today at the Durban CC to get a full tournament in, Ernie shot 67,66 for a -25 total, while the Goose shot 66, 66 to finish at -24
2 more of South Africa's premier players, Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen 67,66 -21 and Charles Schwartzel 69,67 -18 were 3rd and 4th..
It rained again this morning, so much in fact that the par 3 fourth was unplayable, so the T50 and ties who made the cut for the final 36 holes were given a par there !!!
