The Buick Invitational ended with drama when Nick Watney made a 4 ft birdie putt on #18 to win by 1 stroke. He played solidly all day, but never really looked like he was making moves to put himself in contention. The biggest momentum swing came late in the round at the par 3 #16 when Rollins couldn't convert his up-and-down for par from the greenside bunker and Watney sunk a 38 ft snake-of-a-putt for birdie, producing a 2-shot swing leaving both tied at the top with two holes left. Watney birdied two of his last three holes to help take home the trophy.
Most of the attention seemed to be on Camilo "Spiderman" Villegas as he was the crowd favorite all day. He's a young star maturing in the lime-light of the PGA Tour and has plenty of potential to be a double-digit winner in the near future. But today wasn't his day. Camilo was only a shot behind at this point, but shot himself out of the tournament with a bogey on #17.
The Tournement ended with Watney earning just his second career victory and a check to take home of $954,000.
P.S.
Does anyone think that Aaron Baddely needs to cut his hair already?
