Els was leading at the beginning of the day on Sunday after posting a 63 on Saturday. But as many golfers say, it’s always hard to follow a low round with another low round. Els opened with three bogies and finished with at 73 while fellow South African, Goosen, fired a 67.

Rankings are based on 12-month performances of Champions Tour players. When a tournament is played, the previous year’s results are dropped. Losing a high finish, dropping a low finish, adding a new high finish or a new low finish affects standings. Players must have a minimum number of points to be included in the rankings, but all players are tracked.
