Round 4 Final
Bubba Watson closed with a 7-under 64 for a two-shot victory in the Northern Trust Open. It was his first victory since the 2012 Masters, a stretch of 41 tournaments worldwide.
Watson started the final round four shots behind and was simply flawless. His final birdie of a 64-64 weekend gave him the lowest closing round by a winner of this event since Doug Tewell’s 63 in 1986.
Dustin Johnson also played bogey-free, but it wasn’t enough. He closed with a 66 for the second straight tournament. Just like last week at Pebble Beach, he had to settle for second.
Graham DeLaet (70-73-72-73) finished in a tie for 70th at 4-over par. He has not finished outside the top-10 since October of last year, when he missed the cut at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Round 4 (Final)
Round 4 (Final)
Thomas Aiken overcame Oliver Fisher in a play-off to secure victory in the Africa Open and cap a fine run of form.
The South African secured his third European Tour title and first on home soil with a 30 foot birdie putt on the first extra hole at East London Golf Club.
An eagle from 12 feet at the third had been the highlight of Aiken’s 67, as he and Fisher spent much of the afternoon neck-and-neck.
The Englishman had started with a bogey after missing the opening green, but responded with five birdies amidst two further dropped shots and would have won had his birdie effort from 15 feet at the last dropped rather than burn the edge of the hole.
