IT TOOK A WHILE, BUT SOUTH AFRICAN Charl Schwartzel has now picked up his second PGA Tour title by winning the Valspar Championship on the brutal Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort. Charl's playoff victory came at the expense of Bill Haas, who led all the way on Sunday until he slipped into a tie at 7-under at the end of regulation.
Schwartzel, of course, won the 2011 Masters with one of the best finishes I've ever seen in a major. Maybe the best, period. For the record, the finish was 4-2-3-3 (four consecutive birdies for a 66). He has won in Europe, South Africa and Asia since then, but hadn't made much noise in America until yesterday.
