Bubba Watson finished the Northern Trust Open at -15 under par fellow American Jason Kokran. In doing so Watson moved back into the #4 position in the OWGR, on slot ahead of Rickie Fowler. Watson staged a late rally to finish one shot clear of both Adam Scott and Jason Kokrak at Riviera Country Club, his second win there in the last three years. The victory allowed Watson to move past Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson to No. 4 in the newest rankings, extending an impressive run of
consistency that has seen the southpaw ranked no lower than No. 9 since
his win at the 2014 Masters. While his 72nd-hole chip-in left him one shot short of another win,
Scott moved up six spots in the standings to No. 13, just behind an idle Jim Furyk who was passed by Hideki Matsuyama. Kokrak's search for his first PGA Tour win continues, but his runner-up finish allowed him to move up 95 spots to No. 115. As for Jordan Spieth ... well his dismal play continued by missing the cut. McIlroy turned in a lackluster performance finishing at T20 or -6 under par. Can the Big Three - Spieth, McIlroy, and Day - come out of the cellar as the tour moves to the Florida swing, with all eyes looking forward to the Maters in early April.
