Going into the final round in second place on 13-under-par 131, one shot behind Cronje, Goldhill closed with a near-flawless four-under-par 68, dropping just a single shot. On his front nine, he picked up one birdie at the seventh for a flawless outward 35. After the turn, Goldhill added birdies at the 14th, 15th and 16th, dropped a shot at the 17th, and recovered with another birdie at the 18th for an inward 33. In the play-off, Goldhill made birdies on all three holes played. Leonard closed with a brilliant bogey-free 65, having earlier carded rounds of 65 and 69, while Cronje recorded rounds of 66, 64 and 69.
