Henley said there were five levels of power on the PGA To

Malelane, South Africa - Charl Schwartzel fired a 4-under-par 68 on Sunday to successfully defend his Alfred Dunhill Championship title. Schwartzel finished 72 holes at 17-under 271 for his ninth European Tour victory and third at this event, having secured his maiden win here in 2005. "Its always nice to get a win and get some confidence up," said the 29-year- old Schwartzel. Richard Finch, playing on a sponsors invite after failing to retain his card at the end of the 2013 season, shot a 70 at Leopard Creek Country Club and ended alone in second place at 13-under 275. Simon Dyson (67), Ross Fisher (69) and Romain Wattel (71) shared third place at 10-under, one shot ahead of Soren Hansen, who carded a 71 and took solo sixth at minus-9. Magnus A. Carlsson (66) and Simon Wakefield (68) tied for seventh at 8-under, while Danny Willett (69) and Warren Abery (68) shared ninth at 7-under. Last week, Schwartzel coughed up the lead during the final round of the South African Open Championship, stumbling to a triple bogey and a double bogey en route to a tie for fourth place. Such was not the case on Sunday, although Finch managed to threaten early, as the Englishman erased Schwartzels overnight lead with birdies at Nos. 1 and 3. After four straight pars to open, Schwartzel awoke with a deft tee shot to tap-in range at the par-3 fifth, which he converted for birdie and a 1-stroke lead. That margin held at the turn, with the duo matching birdies at the sixth and eighth, where Schwartzel holed from 20 feet. Finch failed to keep pace during the inward stretch, however, as he bogeyed the 11th and fell behind by a pair after an errant drive led to a penalty drop. Schwartzel pushed his advantage to three shots with a birdie from eight feet at the 13th and the tournament was all but decided at the next, where Finchs approach from a fairway bunker hit rocks on the edge of the water and landed in a bush, leading to a double-bogey 6. Schwartzel made par there, extending his lead to five strokes, and although Finch birdied the 15th, the South African cruised home, parring out to cap his bogey-free victory lap. "He got off to a fantastic start and mine was a little shaky," Schwartzel said of his playing partner Finch. "I know with this golf course out of experience that its a long way from over and you just have to keep hitting good shots." NOTES: Schwartzel became the first player to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship three times. In addition to his three wins at this event, Schwartzel was runner-up in the 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011 seasons ... Schwartzel is the first player to successfully defend his European Tour title since Luke Donald at the BMW PGA Championship in 2011-2012 ... Finch last won on the European Tour in 2008, when he titled twice.

Hes not the shortest hitter on the PGA Tour.Justin Leonard earned that distinction last season on the PGA Tour by finishing at No. 177 in measured drives at an average of 270.3 yards. Clark was three spots better at 272.2 yards. Either way, he quit worrying about driving distance a long time ago, realizing he can make up for it with other parts of his game.But it led to a question: How long is long? And when is it long enough?Russell Knox has the reputation of being on the short side, even though he feels he can get it out there far enough. Knox was at No. 120 in driving distance last year. He believes there are three categories of length.Guys that are a little short. Everyone else. And guys who bomb it, Knox said. And theres probably 10 guys who bomb it.There were 25 players who averaged 300 yards off the tee last year, though that group included Charles Howell III and Lucas Glover. They are power players, but probably not in the same bombers class as Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson, Gary Woodland or Rory McIlroy.I played with Bubba a couple of years ago and I almost cried, Knox said. I was like, if this guy hits it straight, I might as well try to caddie for him. But the reality is, distance is maybe 10 per cent of golf. If those guys hit it so much further than me, theres obviously part of my game that is better than theirs or Id never beat them. I need to focus on those parts.Knox might be too stingy by saying there are only about 10 guys in the A-plus power group. He also thinks there are no more than 10 players who are seriously short.Most guys that are short have been out here a long time, he said. Theyre absolutely geniuses. They have great short games. Theyre great putters.Clark referred to players like Adam Scott who could be in the A-plus group if he wanted to except that Scott tries to play more under control.Theres a lot more real bombers than we think, Clark said. If youre just looking at the stats, it doesnt give a true picture of how long these guys are. ... Thats almost as big of a group as the medium guys.One medium guy might be Russell Henley, who was No. 61 in driving distance last year. Henley said there were five levels of power on the PGA Tour, and he put himself somewhere around the middle because the smashers — Watson, Johnson, Holmes — are probably two levels above me.Henley offered this definition of his driving distance: When youre short, it puts pressure on your drive because youve got to hit the fairway. I need to hit the fairway, but its not the end of the world if I dont.Henley already has two of the 10 drives that have been measured at 400 yards or more this year, all of them at Kapalua. One of them was on the 17th hole, all the way to the bottom. He still made par.___MOVING ON: Phil Mickelson is more interested in the next decade or two in the Ryder Cup, not what happened the last time in Gleneagles. Mickelson made his first public appearance last week since he spoke openly in the closing press conference at Gleneagles about the lack of a communication between U.S. captain Tom Watson and the team.Mickelson is part of a Ryder Cup task force geared toward creating a modell.dddddddddddd It already has met once, with another meeting expected next week.Would this open dialogue have occurred had Mickelson not spoken up after the loss to Europe in September?I just think theres a lot of great input. Im excited about what were doing moving forward, Mickelson said last week. How we got there, doesnt matter. Were there now and were going to make it a really great experience for the next generation of players as they go through the next decade or two.Watson, too, is ready to move on.He played the Champions Tour opener last week in Hawaii and was excited to see two Ryder Cup players, Patrick Reed and Jimmy Walker, win the Hawaii events.Im proud of Jimmy and Patrick, and the way they played at the Ryder Cup, Watson said. Im proud of the way all the players played on the Ryder Cup team. They gave it their best shot. The other team just played better is the bottom line. It was a great event for the Europeans. It was not a great event for us, although we had our moments.When asked if it was time to move on, Watson replied, Sure. Because theres nothing we can do about it now.___SPIETH DEAL: One new deal, one long-term renewal. Jordan Spieth has made quite an impression since the end of the last PGA Tour season, all very quietly.First was the deal with AT&T, significant because the Dallas-based telecommunications firm not only is one of the strongest corporate partners on the PGA Tour, but because it has not signed any golfer to a personal endorsement since it cut ties with Tiger Woods in 2009.The deal shows a lot of trust in the 21-year-old Spieth.And then last week, Under Armour announced a comprehensive, 10-year extension with Spieth.Spieth first signed with Under Armour in 2013 when he turned pro and is the first golfer to be outfitted head-to-toe in Under Armour gear. The company plans international marketing with Spieth, and he is involved in a golf shoe that is to debut in the spring.___BASEBALL FEAT: Rob Manfred took over Sunday as commissioner of MLB, and during a guest appearance on the leagues network he was asked his greatest athletic achievement. After taking a mulligan (he played two years of tennis at Le Moyne College), Manfred said he has made a hole-in-one — twice, on the same hole.Manfred said he used a 6-iron to ace the third hole at Sleepy Hollow.And the next year I was older, used a 5-iron, he said.___DIVOTS: Juli Inkster has selected Wendy Ward to be one of her assistant captains at the Solheim Cup in Germany this year. ... Frank Nobilo is joining CBS Sports as a golf analyst. Peter Oosterhuis announced last week he was retiring. Nobilo will continue his work at Golf Channel. ... The USGA has selected James R. Hansen for its Herbert Warren Wind Book Award. Hansen wrote A Difficult Par: Robert Trent Jones Sr. and the Making of Modern Golf.___STAT OF THE WEEK: Starting with the final round at Kapalua, the low scores in each of the last nine rounds on the PGA Tour have been 62, 62, 62, 62, 63, 63, 61, 63 and 63.___FINAL WORD: I lost a few world ranking points, a trophy and some money. But I can handle all of those three things. — Martin Kaymer, on losing a 10-shot lead with 13 holes to play in Abu Dhabi.
