Graeme McDowell defeated Thongchai Jaidee 2 and 1 in the final of the Volvo World Match Play Championship.
The first-ever European Tour event in Bulgaria lived up to its hype both with scenic Thracian Cliffs Golf & Beach Resort in Kavarna and a deserving champion. Jaidee went 2 up after four holes and retained the lead through six. After McDowell picked off a birdie at the par-3 seventh to halve his deficit, he'd eventually draw even at 12. Wins at 14 and 15 followed as Jaidee began to stumble. Overall, G-Mac played 17 holes in bogey-free 3-under. Just three weeks removed from his title at Harbour Town, he climbed the ladder in this week's bracket with victories over Bo Van Pelt (1 up), Nicolas Colsaerts (2 and 1) and Branden Grace (3 and 2). McDowell is also the first native of Ireland or Northern Ireland to win this tournament that dates back to 1964.

Graeme McDowell picked up his second PGA TOUR win on the first playoff hole of the RBC Heritage after spinning a 2-under-par 35-34=69 in the final round.
The 2010 U.S. Open champion played nearly flawless golf on a treacherous day at Harbour Town. After pars on the opening four holes, he took advantage of a birdie opportunity on the par-5 fifth. He then added birdies on the par-4 11th and par-4 16th -- both from inside 10 feet -- before dropping his only shot of the day at the par-4 18th to fall into a playoff with Webb Simpson. Both completed regulation in 9-under 275. In sudden death, G-Mac split the fairway and found the green in regulation for an easy two-putt par. He then watched as Simpson was unable to convert his par. This is McDowell's first title in a non-major; he now has two on the PGA TOUR.

Graeme McDowell posted a 3-under-par 34-34=68 in the third round of the RBC Heritage and enters the final round at 7-under 206.
McDowell opened with a busy six-hole stretch, circling three birdies and giving back a bogey at the difficult par-4 third. He would then hop on the par train for the next 11 holes before stepping on the tee at the par-4 18th. After splitting the fairway, he carved his approach to 11'5" and added a fourth bogey to his stat sheet.

Graeme McDowell had a relatively slow week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but departs Bay Hill with a 3-under-par 34-35=69.
With wind expected to be a factor for much of the final round, G-Mac's round could prove to be one of the lowest of the final round. After finishing runner-up to Tiger Woods in 2012, we expected this to be a better week than it was for him. In the end, he will settle for a 2-over-par 290. He will not tee it up in the Shell Houston Open.

Graeme McDowell stumbled to an even-par 35-37=72 in the final round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, and settled into a tie for third at 14-under 274.
McDowell had his sights set on chasing down his playing partner, Tiger Woods, but came up well short. After opening with birdies on each of his first two holes, there was a reason to be optimistic that we would give Woods a fight, but it wasn't meant to be. He traded two birdies and two bogeys over his next 15 holes before suffering a messy double bogey on the par-4 18th. We will not see him at the Tampa Bay Championship.

Graeme McDowell plodded around TPC Blue Monster at Doral with a 3-under-par 32-37=69 in the third round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship.
McDowell's 14-under 202 tally has him alone in second, earning him a final round tee time with Tiger Woods. After a hot start with two birdies and an eagle, gaining ground on Woods in the process, McDowell was put on tilt starting with a 3-putt par on the par-5 10th. He followed that up with a messy bogey on 11 and a double-bogey six on the 14th. He snapped out of it when he holed out for eagle on the par-4 16th from 21'7" from just off the green. A couple of pars later and he was in the clubhouse. He will have his hands full trying to wrestle away the lead from Woods in the final round.

Graeme McDowell backed up his opening 66 at the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship with a bogey-free, 5-under-par 35-32=67 in his second round to post the 36-hole clubhouse lead at 11-under 133.
McDowell has not dropped at a shot at TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral this week. He's 9-for-9 in scrambling for the tournament with 11 birdies. Of today's five birdies, he got a couple of fall from 10'11" at the first and eighth holes.

Graeme McDowell enjoyed a bogey-free, 6-under-par 33-33=66 in his opening round of the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, good for a share of the clubhouse lead.
G-Mac went 4-for-4 in scrambling amid burying six birdies to match a career-best round at TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral (final round, 2010). McDowell hadn't broken 70 in his opener in all five previous appearances either. Four of his birdies today disappeared from beyond 10 feet, the longest of which measuring 29'4" at the 14th hole.

Graeme McDowell took care of business with an even-par 35-35=70 in the final round of The Honda Classic, finishing the week at 2-under 278.
McDowell's finish could prove good enough for a top-10 finish, but will easily be inside the top 15. He circled two birdies and squared two bogeys on his final lap around PGA National. Things ended on a bitter note. Not only did he fail to birdie the par-5 18th, but he gave back a stroke after having split the fairway off the tee. He now heads to Doral for the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Graeme McDowell is 5-under-par 67-68=135 at the midpoint of The Honda Classic, three strokes adrift of the 36-hole clubhouse lead.
The Ulsterman has finished inside the top 10 at the last two editions of the Honda, so it's no surprise that he's in contention again. He's landed 24 greens in regulation and limited his blemishes to three bogeys. He's also circled four birdies in each round, the longest measuring 14'3" at the 13th hole in today's round.

Graeme McDowell slayed the biggest Cinderella of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship when he knocked off Shane Lowry 3 and 2 in the third round.
McDowell briefly trailed Lowry after dropping the par-5 second hole with a par. Not happy trailing, McDowell rattled off five wins in the next seven holes to take a commanding 4-up lead. He then played even-par golf over the next seven holes, only dropping one hole in that span. He now plays Jason Day in a match that will decide the winner of the Jones Bracket.

Graeme McDowell survived his second-round match with Alexander Noren in 20 holes in the Jones Bracket at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
This match evoked the Wild West vibe of southern Arizona today. It was about as close as you could get to a shootout. Both golfers completed 18 holes in 4-under-par, each winning five holes. McDowell claimed the par-4 18th with a birdie to force sudden death. After they traded pars at the par-4 first hole, Noren then found the desert at the par-5 second. He'd eventually bogey the hole to send G-Mac into a third-round bout with fellow Irishman Shane Lowry.

Graeme McDowell chalked up a 2-up victory over Padraig Harrington in the Jones Bracket in the opening match of the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
After Harrington won the first hole with a par and G-Mac responding with a birdie win at 2, Harrington didn't hold the lead again. McDowell shot even-par over 18 holes to Harrington's 1-over. Indeed, it was Harrington's last official bogey at 16 that swung the lead to McDowell for the final time. He'd eventually secure the match after his fellow Irishman drove into the desert at 18 where he conceded McDowell's birdie-3. This is just the second time in five apparance at the Ritz-Carlton that McDowell has survived his opening match. He now takes aim at Alexander Noren in Friday's second round.

Graeme McDowell is ready to get his 2013 season underway at the Northern Trust Open.
For those who keep up with McDowell closely, you've probably heard that he kept busy in the offseason getting engaged and opening a bar near his U.S. home course of Lake Nona. Hopefully for gamers who've invested in the Northern Irishman, he spent a little time keeping the rust off the clubs in the process. He hasn't played Riviera since 2009, making just one cut in three starts. He probably isn't the safest investment in a field of options with better form and course history.
