LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bub-
ba Watson ended his big
week in L.A. as the star of
his own show Sunday at
Riviera.
Two shots behind with
four holes to play, Watson
made birdie on two of his
last three holes to overtake
Jason Kokrak and hold off
Adam Scott for a one-shot
victory in the Northern Trust
Open.
Watson, who closed with
a 3-under 68, won at Riv-
iera for the second time
in three years and moved
back to No. 4 in the world.
He was among a half-
dozen players who still had
a chance over the back
nine under warm sunshine.
Watson took advantage
of some late mistakes by
Kokrak, who was going for
his first PGA Tour victory,
and his two birdies were
enough to turn back the
late heroics of Scott, who
chipped in for birdie on the
18th for a 67.
That group of contenders
did not include Rory McIl-
roy.
