A Fist Pump Finish for Watney!

The Blue Monster at Doral this week, came in like a lion and went out like a lamb! With storms that destroyed tents and leaderboards at the start of the tourney and the suspended play that followed, it was anything but "normal". Play was suspended for more than 3 hours and the first round had to be finished on Friday before the 2nd round could begin.

Nick Watney had a final round 67 to finish at -16, two strokes ahead of Dustin Johnson to win at Doral on Sunday! Watney shot a first round 67 followed by a 70 and 3rd round 68. While Rickie Fowler had final round 66, it wasn't enough to catch the leaders. Fowler played an impressive final round that included 1 Eagle, 5 Birdies and 1 bogey. During the final round, Rickie eliminated almost all of the bogey's that haunted him the prior 3, he finished in 8th place.

Luke Donald who came off a win last week, also fired a 66 (but in his 3rd round) and a final round 72 to finish at -11 and in a tie at 6th place with Adam Scott. Kuchar finished in 5th place, after rounds of 68,69,68 and 71 to get him to -12. Another guy who tried to make a run was Francesco Molinari who finished in a tie for 3rd with Anders Hansen. Molinari who has 2 career wins under his belt, added another top 10 finish for the season to bring his total to 2. He's proven to be a player to watch.

Tiger Woods carded his Top Ten finish with a final round 66 on Sunday. All of the changes he's been working on seemed to come to fruition. Tiger holed 7 Birdies on Sunday and only 1 bogey to finish at -8 and go into 5 way tie for 10th place. While birdies were not chirping for Tiger in the first couple of rounds, he started to see some change on Saturday when he captured 4. While it wasn't enough to get near the top, it would appear that things are coming together.

Rory McIlroy played just the opposite. Rors had much better play in his first 3 rounds and spattered out on Sunday with only 2 birds and 4 bogeys. He had 15 birdies in his first 3 rounds total and only 5 bogeys combined. While he moved the opposite of Tiger, this young man is going to be a very well known name for years to come!

Unfortunately, Bubba Watson was not able to start after suffering with a flu bug for more than a week.This guy is amazing to watch off the tee box. While he uses a pink shafted driver, his drives are anything but soft! Always supported by his wife Angie and caddie J.Ted Scott; he is a man of values and devoted Christian. I am definitely for #teamBubba!

Poulter, known for his fashion style on the course, could not get the momentum going. With only 2 birdies on Sunday and 1 bogey and 1 double-bogey, he finished in a tie for 45th at +2. Look for Ian to get some practice in and contend the next time he tee's it up!
