World Golf Results

On the US PGA Tour, The Heritage Classic was won by Sweden's Carl Pettersson. A final round score of 69, two-under-par, allowed the Swede to clinch the title, with the American Zach Johnson taking second place.

As Pettersson wove his way around the course at Hilton Head with apparent ease to card a final score of 14-under for the tournament, the Swede's effortless swing reminded golf fans that the best players always make the game look easy.

Sunday's win marks Pettersson's fifth win on the PGA Tour and his first since the 2010 Canadian Open. He now ties with compatriot Jasper Parnevik as the Swedish player with the most wins on the Tour. With a precision game that seems to be ever-improving, Pettersson should provide golf fans with many more exciting moments in years to come.

In Malaysia, South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen bounced back from his narrow defeat at the US Masters to lift the trophy at the Malaysian Open, a co-sanctioned European Tour event. The tournament took place in rainy weather which tested the players' skills as they navigated a wet course with unpredictable green speeds. Nonetheless, Oosthuizen managed to edge out the Briton Stephen Gallacher to card a three-stroke victory on Sunday.

The South African, a former British Open champion, lost last week's US Masters to Bubba Watson in a tense playoff and was keen to regain his confidence with a decisive win. With his Malaysian victory, Oosthuizen now has five European Tour titles to his name and can finally put last week's disappointment safely behind him.

On the Champions Tour, an elated Michael Allen was victorious at the Encompass Insurance Pro-Am in Florida on Sunday. Carding a 3-under-par 68 after the final round, the American won by a comfortable three strokes over compatriot Kenny Perry. This victory is Allen's first since the 2009 Senior PGA Championship.
