Kiawah Island (South Carolina), Nov 18: South Africa's second team was good enough to finish first at the 4 million-dollar World Cup.
Sabbatini and Immelman gave South Africa its fifth tournament title and second in three years. Ernie Els and Retief Goosen won in 2001, and Els won with Wayne Westner in 1996.
The event was supposed to pair the top golfers from their respective countries. But a handful of players withdrew, including Els and Goosen, South Africa's best.
Els is ranked third in the world and Goosen seventh entering next week's Presidents Cup in their homeland. Sabbatini is just 71st and Immelman 57th, which didn't seem to matter here this week.
