With round 4 well underway Brandon Grace has seen his lead shrink to 1 shot. He opened with 62 66,72 -16. He had a five-stroke cushion after the second round, but a late surge by Lucas Bjerregaard of Denmark erased most of the advantage. Bjerregaard had an eagle on the 13th and then birdied his last three holes for a 66 to climb to second place at -15. Danny Willett of England two shots behind after a 67 and Francesco Molinari another stroke back following a 70 at this spectacular South African course, routed through a magnificent jungle valley, bordered by yet another huge game reserve.

Overnight I watched Greg Chalmers make a 2 foot putt for par on the seventh hole of a playoff after Adam Scott three-putted for bogey to hand the veteran lefthander the Australian PGA championship, for the second time.
Chalmers fired a -8 64 on the Royal Pines GC after trailing the leaders by seven strokes going into the final round to catch Scott and Wade Ormsby, who both shot 71 to get to -11.
Ormsby was eliminated when he made par on the third playoff hole, while Chalmers and Scott birdied. During the 7 holes Scott had at least 3 putts for the win, but couldn't convert. That wraps up the season down under for the Christmas break.

AP..CHONBURI, Thailand -- Lee Westwood has just won the Asian Tour`s $1 million Thailand Golf Championship by one shot on Sunday after U.S. Open champion Martin Kaymer and third-round leader Marcus Fraser both slipped up at the end.
Westwood reeled off seven birdies in 10 holes then tapped in for par at the last to complete a superb five-under-par round of 67 for an eight-under total of 280.
Fraser could have forced a playoff with a par of his own at the last but the Australian made a bogey to drop back to seven-under. Kaymer also came unstuck right near the end, making his only bogey of the day on the penultimate hole, to finish tied with Fraser, one behind Westwood.
