PGA Tour - Northern Trust Open

Bubba Watson packed plenty of memories from his week in LA. He has a kidney stone as a keepsake. He had a cameo in "Girl Meets World." He received a text Sunday morning from Steph Curry offering shooting tips to Watson's son. And he capped it all with the best memento of all.

"Hold on a second, my trophy is coming," Watson said, interrupting his press conference as the shiny prize was placed on the table next to him.

It wasn't clear if passing the kidney stone or winning the Northern Trust Open was more difficult.

Two shots behind with four holes to play, Watson rallied with flawless golf and a pair of birdies over the last three holes to overtake Jason Kokrak and hold off Adam Scott to win at Riviera for the second time in three years and move back to No. 4 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

All week long, Watson spoke of the importance of making putts at Riviera, and he needed all of them -- the 10-footer for par on No. 10 to stay in the game, and a pair of birdies to twice tie for the lead, from 30 feet on No. 11 and from 5 feet on the par-3 16th.

And then he took the lead with a birdie that was pure Bubba.

Both feet came off the ground as he hammered a drive 334 yards on the 582-yard 17th hole, and then he hit 2-iron to the back of the green that led to a two-putt birdie. He closed with a 3-under 68 for a one-shot victory over Kokrak and Scott.

"The highlight is definitely winning," Watson said. "When you come to Hollywood, there's a lot of things you can do. It's fun. And winning is the cake."

Asian / European Tour – Maybank Championship Malaysia

Marcus Fraser gave a short-game masterclass as he carded a closing 68 to win the inaugural Maybank Championship Malaysia in a dramatic finish at Royal Selangor Golf Club.

The Australian was two shots behind Soomin Lee as he stood on the 16th tee but a double-bogey from the South Korean coupled with a nearly-holed chip opened the door for Fraser to win a third European Tour title.

A clutch ten-foot putt on the 17th kept the 37 year old in a share of the lead at 15 under going up the last and when Lee double-bogeyed again, a par was enough to make Fraser the first ever winner of the Maybank Championship Malaysia Tiger Trophy.

That closing double-bogey dropped Lee into a share of second with Miguel Tabuena at 13 under, a shot clear of Jorge Campillo and Julien Quesne.

Fraser had a seven-year gap between his first win at the 2003 BMW Russian Open and his second at the Ballantine's Championship, and returns to the winner's circle once again five years and 302 days after that victory in South Korea.

"In the back of my head I felt like I had a chance," he said. "He's quite young and it's a big thing to be leading a European Tour event with three or four holes to go.

"So I just tried to keep reminding myself to breathe and to play my own game and see what I could do.

"The last two putts were pretty unbelievable. I was pretty nervous on 17 and I don't know how I held onto the putter, just trying to stand over that one on the last, I was pretty nervous.

Sunshine Tour – Dimension Data Pro-Am

The saying ‘lightning doesn’t strike in the same place twice’ seems to be something George Coetzee doesn’t agree with, as he finished birdie-birdie-eagle two days in a row on the Montagu course at Fancourt to win the 2016 Dimension Data Pro-Am by one shot.

Dean Burmester looked on helplessly as Coetzee weaved his magic after the final round shaped up to be between Burmester and Darren Fichardt. But Coetzee’s grandstand finish drew him level with Burmester after Fichardt dropped a shot on the par-four 15th. His brilliant approach to the final green knocked the wind out of Burmester’s sails.

“I finished off strongly yesterday on 16, 17 and 18, so I thought to myself that I just needed to keep myself in the mix until those three holes, but I wasn’t expecting to do the same thing,” Coetzee said. “But I’m very happy that I did and luckily it was enough to get the job done.”

As play advanced into the last few holes on the homeward nine, Burmester birdied 14 and 16 to put himself into the lead. Burmester then birdied the last but the outstanding eagle for Coetzee meant he had to settle for second-place.

“The eagle on the last was not planned,” laughed Coetzee. “Obviously I wanted to hit it close and I knew that my miss is right, so I just aimed it up the middle of the green and I knew that there was a good possibility I would push it closer to the hole, and I was just hoping it was the right club.”

It was a peach of a six-iron to three feet.

Coetzee was hardly on fire in the early stages of his round, and through 10 holes was only one-under-par which at the time left him two shots back of Burmester.

“At stages it didn’t look like it was going to happen for me, but I’m happy to have kept calm, put myself in play and then hit the shot on the last hole that was needed,” said Coetzee. “I was behind the whole day until the 17th.

Alps Tour Golf - Red Sea Little Venice Open

Franck Daux did make Sokhna his home by winning a second title in 2 weeks. He lifted the Red Sea Little Venice Open trophy and raised the French flag once again in Egypt. His playing partner, England’s Matt Wallace pushed him to play his best game as he holed seven birdies in a row.

Daux had a 2 stroke advantage when he teed off this morning and after first nine, he was 4 shots ahead of Aaron Zemmer.

“I was playing well but I missed a couple a putts for birdies. Then we arrived on the part of the course I liked very much, which was also played last week. I knew I could do a few birdies there and I told to myself – Ok let’s go for them “.

And he did, from the 10th to the 13th. But Matt Wallace was on the same rhythm and answered shot by shot.

“I dropped one shot on the 15th and then I realized that Matt’s putter was on fire. He had 6 straight birdies and I was wondering how low he was. I was only 2 shots back. On the 17th, I think my chip and run shot kind of kill him because he did not expect me to have such an easy putt for birdies and he 3 putted the hole. I had then a 3 shot margin going into last so I felt relax but it was the most stressful round I ever played. Matt was amazing”.
