2219 - The Welshman finds the right side of the 18th fairway with his drive, it is safe and he has a chance to post a real number in the clubhouse.

2220 - Reed's putt on 16 comes up just under 3 feet short.

2234 - Reed two-putts for par and heads to Blue Monster, the 18th, needing a par for victory.

2238 - It's a bogey for Jamie Donaldson, and Reed knows a bogey will win this championship, surely he will play the hole as a par five.

2242 - Reed plays a long iron off the 72nd tee, and fails to reach the fairway, this could be a plan which could back-fire.

2243 - THREE players will finish this championship under par, and when you think how sparse the rough has been this could have been utter carnage.

2247 - A difficult but vital lay up ahead for Reed.

2248 - Reed's lay up is in the perfect position but it is still a very difficult shot to ensure he makes no worse than a bogey here.

2252 - Reed's pitch comes up some 25 feet short, not an easy two-putt from there.

2254 - Reed has a foot between him and world golf glory.

JASON DAY WINS THE 2014 WGC-ACCENTURE MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP AT THE 23RD HOLE

This, finally, concludes coverage of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship Final.

Northern Trust Open Final Round

1815 - Good evening and welcome to coverage of the final round of the 2014 Northern Trust Open, this tournament almost always provides a dramatic Sunday including a six-man play-off back in 2001. With a completely unheralded leader with very little experience this could be a wild finish in Los Angeles.

1819 - The chasing pack are eating up the first few holes at Riviera and Charl Schwartzel and Dustin Johnson are hunting down the leader William McGirt. Jimmy Walker is also on the move with a birdie at the first to move to within 3.

1821 - Jordan Spieth has also birdied the 1st and joins Walker and Schwartzel at -9.

1822 - Lee Westwood has made a slow start, but at -6 he is only 4 behind second place with 14 holes to play as he looks for his first win in 20 months.

1824 - Bubba Watson finds the par five first in two with two outrageous, unusual shots. An eagle would push him into a share of second place.

1830 - Jordan Spieth strikes the flag with his second at the 2nd hole and should move to -10, just as Jason Allred did at the 1st. The chasing pack are moving in on McGirt.

1835 - Spieth misses his birdie chance at the 2nd but right now there are 2 shots covering the 19 players behind McGirt.

1842 - Bae Sang-Moon of Korea makes birdies at 1 and 3 to move into a massive tie for second before Charlie Beljan birdies the first to move to -11; William McGirt birdies the first to regain his two shot advantage.

1848 - A birdie from Spieth at the 3rd move him to -10 and we have a stacked and loaded chasing pack ready to pounce should McGirt stumble; Cameron Tringale moves to -11 with a birdie on the 3rd.

1912 - McGirt bogeys the second and the chasing pack are moving in, 8 players within two shots of the lead.

1915 - Bubba Watson birdies the fourth and he is just one shot back of the leader. Now there are nine players within two shots of the lead. Watson will be desperate to atone for his disastrous finish at the Phoenix Open two weeks ago.

1920 - McGirt is short and left of the long par three fourth hole, struggling to save par.

1923 - Schwartzel birdies 5 and 6 to move into second place, one back of McGirt.

1928 - McGirt plays a superb pitch to 4 feet below the hole and should remain in the lead.

1944 - Bubba Watson holes a bunker shot at the par three sixth to tie the lead, Brian Harman birdies the sixth to make it three in a row and tie the lead at -12.

1946 - We have a three-way tie for the lead and incredibly we have 8 players covered by 1 stroke and 14 within 3.

1957 - Charl Schwartzel birdies the 8th and makes it four players tied for the lead at -12.

2002 - 11 players within 2 of the lead.

2009 - This tournament is wide open, anyone of 10 players could walk away the champion but it could quite easily be a play-off.

2015 - Bubba takes the lead.

2016 - A 16 foot putt gives the 2012 Masters champion a one stroke lead through 8 holes at -13.

2027 - Dustin Johnson plays a magical shot from under a tree at the 10th to set up a birdie chance to move into a tie for second, one back of Watson.

2055 - Dustin Johnson birdies the 11th to reach -12 and the leading three are now Bubba (-13), Schwartzel and Johnson (-12), the cream is rising to the top at Riviera.

2133 - Unbelievable putt from Dustin Johnson sees him go to 15 at -12 tied with Schwartzel and Brian Harman, all relying on Watson finishing like he did at TPC Scottsdale.

2142 - An appalling shot from Watson from the fairway at the 13th, a hideous golf swing says Sky's Mark Roe, are the wheels going to fall off once more?

2147 - Johnson follows a pummelled drive with a delightful iron shot to the 15th, birdie chance.

2148 - Another bunker shot from Schwartzel at 15, has a 20 footer for par coming up.

2149 - Bubba makes par and remains 2 ahead; Schwartzel's putt lips out at 15 and he is now 3 back.

2152 - Dustin bins his putt at the 15th and he is one behind Bubba; memories of the 2010 PGA at Whistling Straits here, will there be a play-off? Will there be a rules infringement?

2154 - Dustin Johnson's tee shot on the par three 16th comes up short in the rough, a thick lie for the big hitter.

2257 - Par for Watson and he heads to the 72nd hole with a one stroke lead.

2300 - Watson finds the fairway with a controlled drive, he has not made a bogey all weekend and unless he miss-hits his second to the last the title is his.

2307 - And that closes the deal! A superb approach leaves the 2012 Masters champion with a ten foot putt for birdie below the hole.

2314 - BOOM! Bubba buries the birdie at the 72nd hole and the winless drought is over for the 2012 Masters champion. A remarkable performance, bogey free in the last 36 holes, two rounds of 64 and a fifth career victory. Emotional scenes at Riviera.

From me it is goodnight and I will be back next weekend and the following two weekends with the WGC's at Dove Mountain and Doral and in between the Honda Classic.
