MALELANE, South Africa, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Charl Schwartzel's victory in the Alfred Dunhill Championship marked the end of a two-year drought for the former U.S. Masters champion, and with some radical adjustments to his game starting to pay off, he hopes his demons are well and truly banished.
The 31-year-old South African won the opening tournament of the new European Tour season to record a first success in a year and 363 days. His previous victory came in the same event at the Leopard Creek Country Club.
A drop in form saw him fall to 50th in the world rankings but Sunday's four-shot triumph suggests Schwartzel's star is on the rise again.
