On a cool and blustery final day Moore had shot a fine round of 68 to eliminate Scott's three stroke overnight advantage. With the win Scott moves up to world number 5, a jump of 5 positions, while Moore improves his world ranking by 37 positions to 72nd.

Clarke climbs 124 places up the Official World Golf Ranking to 112th.
