SUN CITY, South Africa, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Trevor Immelman, who got into the Nedbank Golf Challenge as a late replacement, won the South African event Sunday by one shot over Justin Rose.

Immelman shot an even-par 72 in the final round for a score of 16-under 272. He bogeyed the final hole but won after Rose hit into some trees and finished with a double-bogey.

The South African winner either led or shared the lead after each preceding round of the tournament, which is played at the Gary Player Country Club in Sun City with an invited field of 12 players.

Immelman was a late entry, replacing Sergio Garcia.

Three-time champion Ernie Els finished in third place at 11-under-par 277. Henrick Stenson was fourth, four shots behind Els.
