Tiger Woods's winning streak was snapped on Monday when Australian Geoff Ogilvy kept his nerve to win the WGC-CA Championship.
Tiger Woods made an unremarkable return to strokeplay golf on Thursday, finishing on one under par in the WGC-CA Championship first round and six shots behind the leaders. India's Jeev Milkha Singh, American world number three Phil Mickelson, South African Retief Goosen and Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng shared the clubhouse lead after firing seven-under-par rounds of 65.
Jeev Milkha Singh continues to soar high, reaching a career-best 29th following his fourth-place finish in the WGC-CA Championship with compatriot Jyoti Randhawa giving him company in the top 100 list of Official World Golf Rankings issued on Monday.
SSP Chowrasia looked a vastly improved player and was three-under through 13 holes when lightening struck the Doral Golf Resort, leaving majority of the golfers, including compatriot Jeev Milkha Singh, stranded through their penultimate round in the WGC-CA Championship in Miami.
Jeev Milkha Singh's dreams of laying his hands on the WGC-CA Championship title didn't materialise but a cultured final round of two-under 70 was enough for a fourth place finish -- his best in a major -- in the elite US $8.5 million event in Doral. Jeev, whose previous best performance in a major was the tied ninth place finish in last year's PGA Championship, signed off with an aggregate of four-under 274, five shots behind winner Phil Mickelson.
Jeev Milkha Singh remains the best placed Indian at 36th while compatriot Jyoti Randhawa, thanks to his Thailand Open triumph, rose three notches to 117 in the latest Official World Golf Rankings issued on Monday.
Phil Mickelson, bottle of energy drink in hand, held on to win the WGC-CA Championship at Doral on Sunday after receiving medical treatment for dehydration. Mickelson was put on a drip at a local clinic three hours after finishing his round on Saturday when he was struggling for energy and fluids.
Tiger Woods, despite uncharacteristically missing several short putts, held off a late challenge by playing partner Brett Wetterich to win his third successive WGC-CA Championship by two shots on Sunday.
Jeev began with a birdie and signed off with a bogey in the opening round of WGC-CA Championship in Miami. In between, he dropped two more shots on the third and seventh holes. But on the other side of the ledger, he birdied the fifth, eighth, 10th and 14th, also squeezing an eagle at the par-four sixth hole to save his bacon.
