Sterne went into the final round tied on 19 under par with compatriot Trevor Fisher Jnr, but the latter carded a disappointing 73 to finish in tied-sixth position. Schwartzel's 66 ensured he finished second while Chile's Felipe Aguilar (67), Portugal's Ricardo Santos (64) and George Coetzee of South Africa (67) joint third. The 2013 Johannesburg Open is Sterne's sixth European Tour victory and moves him into the top 60 in the world rankings ahead of the WGC-Accenture Match Play championship in Arizona starting on 20 February.
