Els runs away with BMW Asian Open

SHANGHAI, China (AP) - Ernie Els ran away with the BMW Asian Open on Monday, finishing off a 13-stroke victory with a bogey-free 7-under 65.

 

The South African star, a three-time winner this year on the PGA European Tour, had a 26-under 262 total on the Tomson Shanghai Pudong Golf Club course in the event co-sanctioned by the Asian Tour.

Els opened with rounds of 67, 62 and 68 and had an eight-stroke lead through six holes in the final round Sunday when play was suspended because of rain and darkness. He played the final 12 holes in 4 under Monday.

 

"I am very, very happy and it was a very good week," Els said. "I knew the parts of my game I was working on and I am a little surprised that it came so fast, but obviously they are the right things. The 62 was the key to the victory, but in the last two rounds I had to play really steady and not make big mistakes."

 

The three-time major champion fell short of his European and Asian tour record of 29 under set in the 2003 Johnnie Walker Classic at Lake Karrinyup in Perth, Australia. He won consecutive European tour events in March in Dubai and Qatar.

 

England's Simon Wakefield (73) finished second at 13 under.

 

Denmark's Thomas Bjorn (72) was third at 12 under, New Zealand's Eddie Lee (72) and France's Jean-Francois Lucquin (73) tied for fourth at 10 under, and Englishmen Luke Donald (72) and Stuart Little (72) followed at 9 under.
