TOURNAMENT RECAP: Stephen Ames produced a stunning back-nine performance in the final round to claim a six-stroke victory over Retief Goosen. Ames looked in trouble on the 10th after a double bogey but bounced back with three quick birdies and a superb eagle on the 16th to secure a comfortable victory. "My bounce-back stat was pretty good," Ames said with a smile.
