IT'S AN AMERICAN 1-2 IN THE WGC-CADILLAC CHAMPIONSHIP

The Americans regained some of their lost golfing pride when Nick Watney (67 for 16-under 272) and Dustin Johnson (71 for 274) made it a USA 1-2 in a WGC event: the Cadillac Championship over the TPC Blue Monster at Doral, Florida.
But Europeans did fill the third and fourth places, thanks to Denmark's Anders Hansen (67) and Francesco Molinari (Italy) (69), both on 275.
Luke Donald, seemingly set for a last-round challenge, could do no better than a par 72 and, at this level, that kind of effort loses ground. He finished joint sixth with Australian Adam Scott on 277.
A closing round of 66 put a smile back on Tiger Woods' face - the first for some time - and he finished joint 10th on 280 with Martin Laird (poor last round of 73), Rory McIlroy (an even poorer 74), Padraig Harrington (73) and Jonathan Byrd (68).
World No 1 Martin Kaymer had a weekend to forget - a pair of 74s for a final placing of joint 24th on 284.
