Cabrera-Bello wins Dubai Desert Classic
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 13 - 02 - 2012

Bello won the Dubai Desert Classic Sunday, shooting a 4-under 68 to beat Lee Westwood and Stephen Gallacher by one shot for only his second European Tour victory.
It appeared to be Westwood's tournament to win as the third-ranked Englishman took a one-shot lead over Cabrera-Bello into the final round. But after making a 35-foot eagle putt on the 2nd to go up by two, Westwood struggled with his putting the rest of the way, missing several birdie chances on the back nine. The 119th-ranked Spaniard birdied the 17th for the outright lead and then made a short par putt on 18 to finish with an 18-under total of 270.
Westwood (70) had a chance to force a playoff, but his chip rolled well past the hole. He then just missed a 25-foot birdie. Gallacher (69) also had a chance to tie but missed a 15-footer for birdie.
Marcel Siem finished fourth with a 15-under total of 273. George Coetzee (70) of South Africa, Scott Jamieson (71) of Scotland, Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark and Rory McIlroy (71) were a shot back in joint fifth.
Wi leads at Pebble
Charlie Wi fired a bogey-free three-under par 69 Saturday to hold onto a slim lead but hard-charging Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson climbed into contention at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. South Korea's Wi, chasing his first win on the PGA Tour, was at 15-under 199 with a three-shot lead after playing the more difficult Spyglass Hill course Saturday at the $6.4 million tournament.
Wi started his third round with a three-shot lead but saw that shrink at one point as some major firepower rocketed up the leaderboard, including 14-time major winner Woods and three-time Pebble Beach champion Mickelson.
American Ken Duke is alone in second after shooting a five-under 65 on the Monterey Peninsula course, considered the easiest of the three in the rotation. Woods rediscovered his putting Saturday to shoot a five-under 67 on Pebble Beach Links and was four strokes back of Wi at 11-under 203. Mickelson was part of a group of five players tied for fourth at nine-under after his two-under 70 on Pebble Beach. Kevin Na (70) and Dustin Johnson (70) are also at nine-under, six strokes adrift of Wi. Wi, in his seventh year on the PGA Tour, has four runner-up finishes in his PGA Tour career but no victories. His nine wins have all come internationally.
Korda wins Aussie Open
American teenager Jessica Korda won the Women's Australian Open for her first LPGA Tour title, holing a 25-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a six-player playoff Sunday.
The 18-year-old Korda completed a two-sport, father-daughter Australian double with the breakthrough victory. Petr Korda won the 1998 Australian Open tennis tournament, also in Melbourne.
Korda closed with a 1-over 74 to finish at 3-under 289 in the first women's professional event at Royal Melbourne, the historic sand-belt layout that was the site of the 2011 Presidents Cup.
Stacy Lewis, Brittany Lincicome, Julieta Granada, So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung-seo also were in the playoff and played in two threesomes on the par-4 18th.
