WGC-CADILLAC CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL ROUND



                              Patrick Reed, led over last 36 holes
PATRICK REED WINS BY ONE - TOP SIX 


FINISH FOR STEPHEN GALACHER

Overnight leader Patrick Reed was able to bogey the par-4 last hole and still win the WGC-Cadillac Championship by one stroke over the Blue Monster at Doral, Miami in Florida.
Reed, 23, a six-footer from Texas, had rounds of 68, 75, 69 and 72 for four-under-par 288.
Joint second on 289 were  another American, big-hitting left-hander Bubba Watson, and Welshman Jamie Donaldson who has played very well over the last three rounds. He signed off with a 70 for 285 while Watson closed with a bogey-free, four-birdie 68 for 285. 
Donaldson, 39, from Pontypridd bogeyed the last hole or he could have figured in title play-off. The Welshman had birdie the first, 10th, 14th and 17th.
His two bogeys came at the seventh and 18th where he bunkered his second.

Stephen Gallacher finally got the hang of playing the Blue Monster - helped by easier playing conditions - but all credit to the Scot for finishing with rounds of 70 and 69 -  five-under par for the final 36 holes - for an aggregate of one-over-par 289.
That earned the Bathgate man joint sixth place, a high finish that looked out of his reach after the first round. 
Tiger Woods had been expected to mount a challenge over the final day after his 66 on Saturday. Instead he could not get a single birdie and a steady flow of bogeys - at the third, fourth, sixth, 13th, 14th and 18th - gave him a y8 for 293, putting him alongside Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Francesco Molinari and Adam Scott

With the leaders still out on the course playing the finishing holes, Gallagher (pictured) and Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee had the honour  of being the joint clubhouse leaders for a spell.
Jaidee signed off with a 68.
Gallacher birdied the first, second, fifth and eight in an outward half of four-under-par 32. But he could not keep up the flow of birdies after the turn and had eight pars and a bogey at 16th. Still, a three-under 69 was a very good effort
