Steve Stricker takes the Northern Trust Open by two strokes over Luke Donald. With the victory, he moves to the top of the FedEx Cup point standings as well as to the second best golfer in the world golf rankings. He started the day with a six stroke lead, but quickly saw it dwindle to two shots. With a pair of birdies on 8 and 9, he regained control of the tournament. Donald closed to within two shots again with a birdie on the 17th, but with Stricker hitting the 18th green in regulation, he sealed the victory.
Other Notable Rounds
Anthony Kim let his final round get out of control early with two double bogeys, and stumbled to a final round 78. Phil Mickelson also struggled, carding a final round 73.
Luke Donald produced magnificent play on the weekend, shooting a pair of two 66's. Though it wasn't quite enough for the win, it was another solid tournament for Donald. Fully healed from his wrist injury last year, expect more play like this from him with the way he strikes the ball.
