Charl Schwartzel did not get to help his friend Louis Oosthuizen into a Masters green jacket on Sunday night, but they will be spending a lot of time together this week.
The top South Africans in the world now that Ernie Els and Retief Goosen have slipped down the rankings will be playing partners in the first two rounds of this week's Maybank Malaysian Open.
An Augusta tradition is that the previous year's winner welcomes the new champion into the club, but it was the American Bubba Watson whom Schwartzel was congratulating, after he beat Oosthuizen at the second hole of a sudden death play-off.
