SUN CITY, South Africa -- Thomas Bjorn carved out two eagles in his last nine holes, one brilliant and one a little lucky, to come from behind and win the Nedbank Golf Challenge on Sunday, closing with a 65 for 20-under overall and a two-shot victory. nfl jerseys china . Overnight leader Jamie Donaldson of Wales wasted a three-shot advantage with a final-round 70 and tied for second with Sergio Garcia (65). Bjorns sweet five iron into No. 10 set up the first eagle to push him past Donaldson. The Dane had his second on No. 14 after his approach pitched in a bunker and rolled up onto the green. "They were two big moments," Bjorn said. "Obviously having two eagles on the back nine on a Sunday doesnt happen very often. The shot into 14 was a bit fortunate but thats what happens when you win golf tournaments, I guess." The $1.25 million winners check at Sun City is the 42-year-old Bjorns biggest prize and its his 15th European Tour title. Donaldson was bidding to become the first debut winner at Sun City since Zimbabwes Mark McNulty in 1986 but bogeyed No. 9, and couldnt find any more birdies until No. 17. Garcias challenge slipped away with a dropped shot on No. 16 after a run of four straight birdies at the end of his front nine, allowing Bjorn to bogey the last at Gary Player Country Club and still win. Bjorns triumph was hailed by fans in the galleries on No. 18 waving streams of South African flags in late afternoon sunshine on a day dedicated in the country to prayer and reflection following the death of former President Nelson Mandela. The tournament stood for a rendition of the South African anthem at the end. "I think to the whole world he was just an inspiration to human beings. He was a great man," Bjorn said of Mandela at the trophy presentation. "To see what one man can do, its an inspiration to all of us. If we all just did a bit more, this world would be a better place." FedEx Cup and European money list winner Henrik Stenson was fourth on 6 under after his 67 in the No. 3-ranked Swedes first tournament back since ending last season as the worlds best-performing player. Brendon de Jonge (66) was fifth on 15 under and Charl Schwartzel (66) sixth on 13 under, the highest placed South African. Ryan Moore of the United States, another Sun City rookie, was in contention through three rounds before a 73 on Sunday took him back to a tie for seventh with U.S. Open champion Justin Rose. Home favourite and three-time champion Ernie Els had to deal with news of Mandelas passing on Thursday and the death of his former psychological coach on Saturday, and ended with a second straight 77 to finish 12 over par and second from last in the expanded 30-man field. This is the first year the Nedbank has been part of the European Tours schedule. jerseys from china .

The team announced the move Saturday. NFL Jerseys Cyber Monday 2014 . With New York hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, the Knicks game scheduled for Thursday in Brooklyn was postponed, and Heat players thought theirs would follow. Instead, they flew from Miami on Thursday afternoon and arrived in their New York hotel after a three-hour bus ride from nearby Newark, N.NEW ORLEANS -- Short-handed and disappointed, but hardly crippled, the New Orleans Saints may at last be able to put bounty scandals behind them and focus on putting together a fourth-straight playoff season. When the NFL first announced as many as 27 current or ex-Saints participated in a cash-for-hits bounty program, seemingly all Saints regulars on defence faced suspensions. As it turned out, only two current Saints -- linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith -- will be sanctioned. And while Vilma, a defensive captain, is slated to miss the entire season, Smiths four-game suspension still allows him to participate in training camp, as well as the final 12 regular-season games -- and whatever playoff run the scandal-plagued but highly motivated Saints might make. "We wish we had Will just like we wish we had Jonathan, but other guys will step up," Saints veteran right tackle Zach Strief said in a phone interview. "All we can do is move on and allow the process to run its course ... and I have all the confidence in the world in the guys in the locker room." Smith said in a statement Wednesday, hours after his suspension was announced, that he planned to appeal. Vilma at first said only that he would fight what he perceived as an injustice perpetrated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and then said on his Twitter page Thursday he "definitely" would appeal. If Vilma is unable to win a reduction or delay in his suspension, the Saints will still have proven players ready to step in. New Orleans signed three linebackers in free agency, including two -- Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne -- who have extensive experience at Vilmas middle linebacker spot. The 6-foot, 241-pound Lofton was a second-round draft choice by the Falcons in 2008 and has started 63 of his 64 games, including all 16 last season. The 6-foot, 236-pound Hawthorne, entering his fifth year in the NFL, has started 41 games in his last three seasons at Seattle. With new defensive co-ordinator Steve Spagnuolo bringing in his own system, Vilma would not have had much advantage over Lofton or Hawthorne in terms of experience in the system. Also, Vilma, who turned 30 last month, is coming off his worst season with the Saints. He missed five games in 2011 because of nagging knee problems. He finished with 54 total tackles, one quarterback hit and only one tackle for a loss with no sacks. Those numbers were way down from the Saints Super Bowl run two seasons earlier, when Vilma led the team with 110 total tackles, had two sacks among 10 tackles for losses, had 10 QB hits and three interceptions. Jerseys Black Friday 2014. If Vilmas appeal or potential legal manoeuvrs succeed, he may have a chance to prove he can come back and play the way he did before 2011. Otherwise, he might have to wait until the 2013 season. At defensive end, the Saints have three players other than Smith with NFL experience: 2011 first-round pick Cam Jordan, veteran Turk McBride and third-year pro Junior Gallette. Last season, Smith was second on the club with 6 1/2 sacks, but Gallette had 4 1/2 sacks in a reserve role, showing the potential to be more productive with more playing time. Jordan started all but one game in his rookie season and will be expected to produce even more in 2012. The Saints lost only the defensive tackles they let walk in free agency, and will have four-year starter Sedrick Ellis joining free-agent pickup Brodrick Bunkley in the middle, with veteran Tom Johnson rotating in and perhaps contributions from third-round draft choice Akiem Hicks. The Saints still have their secondary intact with the exception of cornerback Tracy Porter, who left in free agency. However, former first-round draft choice Patrick Robinson, who led New Orleans with four interceptions last season, was expected to slide into the starting spot opposite veteran Jabari Greer. Both of the Saints hard-hitting safeties, Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins, were spared bounty-related suspensions. That had to come as a relief to Harper, who was flagged and fined repeatedly last season for hits that came late or around the head of players he tackled. Harper is keeping quiet for now, while the teams training headquarters is closed to media. He has not returned a phone message left after the NFL announced player punishments. The Saints as an organization also have not commented since the player suspensions were announced. Theres been no word from general manager Mickey Loomis or assistant head coach Joe Vitt -- whos handling most head coaching duties during Sean Paytons season-long suspension -- concerning how the club will respond to Vilma and Smith suspensions. Of the players who have spoken up, most have done so on social media websites. Receiver Lance Moore, back along with much of New Orleans record-setting offence, was among those who, in the wake of the suspension, predicted continued success for a Saints club seeking a fourth-straight playoff appearance. "We will be fine!!!" Moore tweeted. "Who Dat all day!" ' ' '
