Watney seizes WGC win at Doral

Nick Watney arrived at the $8.5 million Cadillac Championship one of the hottest players in golf, if not the most famous, and he departed with his first World Golf Championships title with ping k15 irons.
With four consecutive top-10 finishes under his belt this year, Watney deserved to be among the favourites for the elite WGC event at Doral's Blue Monster, where he finished a close second two years ago.
The 29-year-old may not have been a name on everyone's lips, but he soon will be if he keeps playing like he did on Sunday.
The unassuming Californian started the final round two strokes behind overnight leader Dustin Johnson, but emerged from the pack to clinch a well-deserved two-stroke victory with ping k15 irons.
"It's the biggest day of my golfing career," Watney said after an emphatic birdie at the difficult final hole to shoot 67 and finish at 16-under-par 272, just his third victory on the US PGA Tour.
"This means so much and I'm very, very excited. Top-10 finishes with ping k15 irons are nice but winning is what counts out here and that's how you're measured.
