Brian Gay wins Humana Challenge

Brian Gay won the Humana Challenge Sunday at La Quinta, Calif., for his fourth PGA Tour title, beating Charles Howell III with a 5 1-2-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff.

Gay closed with a 9-under 63 on PGA West's Arnold Palmer Private Course to match Howell and Swedish rookie David Lingmerth at 25-under 263.

Howell shot a 64, and Lingmerth had a 62. Scott Stallings, five strokes ahead entering the round, bogeyed the final hole for a 70 to miss the playoff by a stroke.

Gay and Howell opened the playoff with birdies on the par-5 18th, and Lingmerth dropped out with a bogey after hitting his approach into the left-side water. Gay won on the par-4 10th, hitting a perfect drive and putting his 145-yard second shot in good position below the hole. Howell drove into the right rough, hit his second into the back bunker, blasted out to 15 feet and two-putted for bogey.

Donaldson overtakes Rose to win in Abu Dhabi

Jamie Donaldson won the Abu Dhabi Championship by one shot, with Justin Rose narrowly missing a birdie putt on the 18th that would have forced a playoff.

Rose's 8-foot putt rimmed out of the hole, giving the Welshman his second European Tour victory.

Trailing by two strokes before the final round, the 47th-ranked Donaldson opened with a birdie and had two more on Nos. 9 and 11. Rose, who had led all week, bogeyed the fifth and then lost the lead after a bogey on the 11th.

Rose also bogeyed the 16th after an errant drive before Donaldson missed a 5-foot putt on No. 18 that cut the lead to one.
