Lowdown: It's the second week of the 2014 European Tour and the players are in South Africa for the Alfred Dunhill Championship. Charl Schwartzel defends the title at Leopard Creek Country Club.
In last year's tournament, Charl Schwartzel romped home to an incredible 12-stroke victory. The South African has an amazing record in this event - He won in 2005 (his first European Tour title,) was runner-up in 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011 before winning again so emphatically last season.
"It's probably my favourite tournament of the year. I'm always really excited to go back, and especially this year as I'll be defending my title, he said.
"It's one of my favourite courses in the whole world, and it treated me pretty well last year. I've always felt very comfortable around there in the past, so hopefully that can continue this week - although I don't expect to win by 12 shots again!"
This event began life as the South African PGA, but since 2000 it's been known as either the Alfred Dunhill Championship or the Dunhill Championship. Since 2005 it's been played at Leopard Creek Country Club.
Designed by Gary Player, the course at Leopard Creek is in a stunning setting on the edge of Kruger National Park. Winding through the bush and grasslands past natural water hazards, the layout is famed for its plentiful and diverse wildlife. There's a hippopotamus living in the lake by the 16th hole and waterbuck, impala, giraffes, crocodiles and leopards have all been seen on and around the course.
