Stallings wins, DeLaet 2nd at Torrey Pines..Live scoreboards

PGA Tour
Farmers Insurance Open
Torrey Pines (South) 
La Jolla,  CA

Canadians  Brad Fritsch -6 69 70 72 71,  Graham DeLaet T2 -8 70 73 69 68,  David Hearn MC 72, E,  Riley Wheeldon MC +4 76  Mike Weir WD+5 77

 
Round 4 final
 
Scott Stallings was in a five-way tie for the lead when he hit his second shot on the par-5 18th hole as hard as he could. It was enough to barely clear the water, and he took two putts from 40 feet for birdie and a 4-under 68 at Torrey Pines. That was enough for a one-shot victory when no one could catch him.
 
So many others squandered a good chance to win, at one point 20 players were within 3 shots of the lead.
 Jason Day (68) and Graham DeLaet (68) each made birdie on the last hole to tie for second. So did Pat Perez, the San Diego native who grew up at Torrey Pines and whose father is the longtime starter on the first tee at the Farmers Insurance Open. Perez missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the 17th. He closed with a 70.

European Tour
Commercial Bank Qatar Masters
Doha Golf Club


Round 4  final

For the second year running Sergio Garcia produced a stunning late charge at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, but this time it led to victory as the Spaniard finally got his hands on the trophy.

Garcia defeated Finland's Mikko Ilonen on the third hole of a sudden-death play-off to make up for missing out 12 months ago, when England's Chris Wood made an eagle on the 72nd hole to beat Garcia and George Coetzee by a shot.

A flawless closing 65 saw Garcia set the clubhouse target of 16 under par, but the 34 year old crucially missed from eight feet for a birdie on the last and then looked on as Ilonen birdied the 16th and 18th to complete a 66 and force extra holes.

The players returned to the 18th for the play-off and both found the green on the par five in two, Ilonen missing his eagle attempt from 30 feet before Garcia did likewise from half the distance.

A second visit to the 18th failed to identify a winner, Ilonen missing an eagle attempt from 20 feet after Garcia had got up and down from a greenside bunker.

However, the third extra hole proved decisive as Ilonen found the same bunker and was unable to rescue a birdie, leaving Garcia a tap-in to secure an 11th European Tour title after his long eagle putt had narrowly missed.
