The Favourite
Headlining the field and betting favourite this week is four-time European Tour winner Thomas Pieters, who returns to Europe following a tie for 15th place at the PGA Tourâs Puerto Rico Open â which he recorded after a top 10 at the Saudi International presented by SoftBank Investment Advisers.
Dustin Johnson emphatically showed just why he s the clear world number one when he overcame a poor putting performance to win his second Saudi International title in three years.
As Rory McIlroy left it too late to burst into life in Arizona, firing nine birdies in a seven-under 64 to finish ninth in the clubhouse in the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Masters champion Johnson (36) looked bullet-proof in the Middle East, eight weeks before he defends at Augusta National.
The American was luckless on slow greens at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club but still chiselled out a two-under 68 to win by two strokes from perennial nearly-man Tony Finau and a resurgent Justin Rose, on 15-under par.

KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia, Feb 7, (AP): Top-ranked Dustin Johnson won the Saudi International for the second time in three years on Sunday after shooting a 2-under 68 in the final round to finish two strokes clear of Justin Rose and Tony Finau. Johnson, who was also runner-up in 2020, recorded his highest scoring round of the tournament at Royal Greens Golf Club but still finished top of the leaderboard on 15-under overall. Scotland’s Calum Hill eagled the parfive 18th to finish in a tie for fourth with France’s Victor Perez. Johnson took a two-shot lead into the final round but the Masters champion struggled on the greens and was caught by Finau when his fellow American made a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th.
