PGA TOUR - WORLD GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS-CA CHAMPIONSHIP, TPC Blue Monster at Doral, Miami, Florida - The season's second World Golf Championships event kicks off this week and much like the first one, it will be without Tiger Woods.

Camilo Villegas cruised to a five-stroke win Sunday at the Honda Classic and soared nine spots to No. 12 in this week's official world rankings.

The grandfathered wedges and irons used by Phil Mickelson and others this season will no longer be allowed on the PGA Tour after the company that makes them agreed to waive its rights from a decades-old lawsuit.

Before Camilo Villegas arrived at the first tee Sunday, he called his mother in Colombia. "Tell the little bro congratulations and keep it up," he told her.

Camilo Villegas captured his third PGA Tour win on Sunday, leaving the rest of the field in the dust with a closing two-under 68 at the Honda Classic.

Camilo Villegas posted a three-under 67 on Saturday to take sole possession of the lead after the third round of the Honda Classic.

Camilo Villegas and Anthony Kim are tied atop the leaderboard after Friday's second round of the Honda Classic at PGA National.

When previously thinking of Tucson, Arizona, the only thing that readily came to mind was "Get Back" the great song by The Beatles in which Paul McCartney references that "Jo Jo left his home in Tucson, Arizona."

Australian Nathan Green and American Michael Connell both carded five-under 65s Thursday to share the lead after one round of the Honda Classic.

Hunter Mahan's victory at the Phoenix Open Sunday moved the American up 11 places to 22nd in this week's official world rankings.
