Madsen steps up in South Africa

On the European Tour, Morten Orum Madsen notched his first tour victory at the South African Open Championship after Charl Schwartzel folded down the stretch.

Schwartzel tripled the sixth hole and doubled the 10th to see the lead he held go up in smoke. Madsen, for his part, fired a final-round 67 to capture the title.

“I expected to play well but I didn’t expect to stand here … right now, that’s for sure,” Madsen said after his win.

Neither did the pundits.

Donald finally gets his first win of 2013

Luke Donald fired a 5-under 66 to win the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan for the second year in a row. The win was the Englishman’s first triumph of 2013.

Donald entered the final round leading by two, and a final round in which he birdied seven holes was good enough to get the job done at the Phoenix Country Club.

After winning the $400,000 first prize, Donald said, “My last win as a professional was last year at the Dunlop. It’s great to come here and win again.”

Feng puts an exclamation point on 2013 season

On the LPGA Tour, China’s Shanshan Feng fired a brilliant final-round 66 to win the LPGA Titleholders.

Feng bolted to the front of of the pack with four birdies in her first six holes at Tiburon Golf Club and never looked back, securing the largest payday in women’s golf and her second win of 2013.

Natalie Gulbis, who was tied for the 54-hole lead, stumbled to a final-round 82.

The win moves Feng to fourth in the Rolex Ranking and moves her season total money total to more than $1.7 million.

“I had a goal to win two tournaments,” she said,  I won in China. I didn’t think I was going to achieve my goal, and I made it in my last tournament in Florida.”

    Couldn’t be happier for Jason Day to win. The man can definitely use some positivity and good vibes in his life.

GolfWRX is on site this week at the Cognizant Classic —FKA the Honda Classic.

The first leg of the PGA Tour’s traditional “Florida swing,” the Cognizant Classic continues to be contested at PGA National’s Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, host course of the 1983 Ryder Cup and 1987 PGA Championship. The course is known for its famed “Bear Trap,” a three-hole stretch of holes that take their name from Jack “The Golden Bear” Nicklaus, who redesigned the course in 2002.

The Bear Trap includes No. 15 (a par 3), No. 16 (a par 4), and No. 17 (a par 4). All three holes involve water and have led to several big numbers from Tour players over the years.

Check out an assortment of general galleries, WITBs, and pullout albums below.

We’ll continue to update the galleries as more photos flow in from Florida!
