Ernie Els continued his excellent form by winning one of the richest events on the European Tour calendar with a final score of -16.

Darren Clarke was best place of the Irish with his score of -6 leaving him in joint seventh place while amateur, Michael Hoey, capped off a wonderful tournament as highest placed amateur with a score of -5 leaving him tied for 12th.

Padraig Harrington however had a disappointing final round and finished well down the field on four under par, tied for 20th.
