HSBC Champions (World Golf Championships- WGC Event)
Sheshan International Golf Club, Shanghai, China
Big hitting Dustin Johnson just carded what he calls his biggest win in Shanghai, China at the HSBC Champions. That win looked to be coming easy, until Johnson gave up a six shot lead.
Stellar play down the final nine made the difference for Johnson. With a five hole stretch on the back nine played at -5, Johnson separated himself from Ian Poulter (2nd) and Graeme McDowell (3rd).
After the round Johnson commented about keeping McDowell and Poulter at bay, “"It's the biggest win I've had in my career so far. Those guys put a lot of pressure on me. I'm really proud of the way I handled myself."

Charles Schwab Cup Championship
TPC Harding Park, San Francisco, CA
Fred Couples won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, but Kenny Perry took home the cash.
The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the season ending event for the year-long Champions Tour Charles Schwab Cup, a contest similar to the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup. Both competitions are points based, with points accruing throughout the season. In the Schwab Cup, the winning player takes home a cool $1,000,000 in the form of an annuity.
Coming into the Schwab Cup there were two players who mathematically could win it, Kenny Perry and Bernhard Langer. With Couples winning the event and Perry finishing ahead of Langer, Perry took home the big prize.
