Clothing - Hugo Boss Turning point At the start of the final round Dustin Johnson led by two from Watney, Luke Donald and Matt Kuchar. The front nine saw the four players continue to contend. Johnson birdied the first hole and then played steady golf, Watney caught him, Kuchar and Donald were one behind. But the back nine would make the difference. Johnson was struggling to take advantage on the greens and would make one birdie and one bogey. Kuchar birdied the tenth but then added two bogies to drift back. Donald made two bogies and no birdies. Watney made a bogey on the 11th but either side of that hole he made two par-five birdies and from then on, even when he left himself struggling to make par, he did so with some stunning putting from distance. He confirmed the win with a birdie putt on the final green. His back nine performance had turned the event. Stats Watney didn't just top the scoring at Doral - the stats ranked his all-round game number one too. He was second for Putting Average, seventh for Sand Saves, ninth for Scrambling and Putts per Round, 12th for Greens in Regulation, 13th for Driving Accuracy and 14th for Driving Distance. Since closing the 2010 US Open with an 81 his form has been relentlessly solid. In 15 starts he has only twice finished worse than 21st and nine times he finished in the top ten. Doral was his fifth start of 2011 and every single one has reaped a top ten finish, although this was his first win. Insight At the end of the third round Watney found water from the 18th tee and as he walked down the fairway the TV cameras showed him with his head in his hands. The error had the potential to wreck his week-long challenge but he explained after his win how he had ensured that didn't happen. "(In the third round) I was a bit frustrated with the putts I missed on 16 and 17 when I walked to the 18th tee. (After that bad shot) I had some really good conversations with my team just as far as being in the moment and that's the only shot that matters. "So I'm very proud, just that I was able to execute that tee shot (in the final round). The circumstances were very important, but proud that I allowed myself mentally to make a good swing "I was thinking, I have to be in this moment, right now, because this is all that counts. And then, my caddie Chad, just says, just give yourself time. Get a full turn and give yourself time. So that's what I tried to do. "I wasn't nervous. I was more ... I really wanted to take care of business and to grasp this opportunity. I actually love that feeling you don't get it too often, It's fun. That's why you play." In his words On the relevance of the win: "This means so much. It's the biggest day of my golfing career. You know, with the way yesterday ended and two years ago, it means a whole lot, and I'm very, very excited." On the difference between a solid week and a win: "Top-10 finishes are nice but winning is what counts out here and that's how you're measured." On his improved form: "Yeah, my putting is where I've made strides. But mostly mentally, I work with Morris Pickens, and he's helped me just to develop a
