Steve Stricker wins Northern Trust Open
Northern Trust Open: Steve Stricker, who was everyone's favorite for the week didn't let anyone down when he didn't succumb to final round pressure as he shot 70 for a 16 under total. He was two better than Luke Donald who shot 66 and two in front of Dustin Johnson and J.B. Holmes. With the victory Stricker moved up into the number two position on the Official World Rankings.
Check out Sal Johnson's first round recap and stat factoid's on the leaders.

Omega Dubai Desert Classic: Miguel Angel Jimenez was able to scramble his way to victory as he made a four foot par putt on the third extra hole of the playoff to beat Lee Westwood. Thongchai Jaidee, who finished 3rd after a final round 73, did obtain his goal of moving up on the world rankings to a predicted 50th, thus getting into the Match Play and possibly the Masters. Defending champion Rory McIroy shot 73 and finished T6th. Check out Sal Johnson's recap the first round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

Moonah Classic: For two days 32-year-old journeyman pro Jim Herman was perfect but that ended quickly in the third round with an opening bogey followed by four more and two birdies as he shot 75 and finds himself tied for the lead with Chris Kirk who shot 65. They are four up on Andrew Dodt, Alstair Presnell, Scott Gutschewski and Jarrod Lyle. Check out Sal Johnson's recap on the first round and Herman's round.
