George (South Africa): India's SSP Chowrasia was let down by mid-round blues as he carded a three-over 76 at Fancourt in the Volvo Golf Champions here on Sunday.
Chowrasia's 76 saw him finish the week at two-over 294 and in tied 24th place.
Chowrasia had a bogey on fourth and a birdie on fifth.
Bogeys on seventh and eighth and a double on 10th and a bogey on 12th saw him at five-over at that stage. However, he retrieved the situation with birdies on 13th and 14th.
Branden Grace, who came through Qualifying School earlier this season, continued his amazing performance with a back-to-win. He won last week at Joburg Open and on Sunday he beat Major champions, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen in a play-off after the South African trio was tied at 12-under 280.
In regulation play, as Els and Goosen finished the 18th with a birdie, Grace missed a birdie and a chance to close it before play-off.
At the same time, Nicolas Colsaerts (72) bogeyed the 18th and missed a chance to get into the play-off and ended fourth, as yet another South African Charl Schwartzel (72) was fifth, making it four home players in top-5.
