COOLUM, Australia — Robert Allenby won his fourth Australian PGA title for his second victory in two weeks, closing with a 5-under 66 yesterday to beat fellow Australians John Senden (67) and Scott Strange (69) by four strokes.
Allenby, the Nedbank Challenge winner last week in South Africa, won the Australian PGA for the first time since 2005, when he swept all three tournaments in the so-called Australian Triple Crown — the PGA, Open and Masters.
Allenby, who entered the event on a sponsor invite three weeks ago after Vijay Singh withdrew, finished with a 14-under 270 total.

Alfred Dunhill: Pablo Martin of Spain shot a 3-under 69 to finish at 17-under 271 and a one-stroke victory over South Africa's Charl Schwartzel (68) in the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Malelane, South Africa.
