The 2011 WGC Cadillac Championship featured many players in contention going into the back 9, only to have one man stand alone at the end. American Nick Watney took this year's title with an excellent final round 67 to finish at 16 under, two shots ahead of 54-hole leader Dustin Johnson. The Fresno State alum captured the title with clutch putting on the closing holes, and a perfectly played 18th hole to ice it. This is Watney's third career PGA Tour win, and will give him a nice jump in the world rankings and also have him considered as a favorite to win the Master's Tournament coming up in a few weeks. The low rounds of today belong to fellow Americans Ricky Fowler (-10) and Tiger Woods (-8) who both shot 66. Fowler finished in 8th and Woods ended up in a tie for 10th, respectively. Woods was noticeably hitting the ball better and putting much nicer on Sunday, which shows a good sign of improvement for him. Next week on the PGA Tour's Florida Swing is the Transitions Championship, which also boasts a strong field and a fairly difficult golf course to score on as well. Stay tuned.
