2217 - Reed finds the back edge of the 16th green with his second shot, his lead is down to 1.

2218 - Donaldson boards the 18th tee, he has won in Abu Dhabi and the Irish Open, a birdie here could very well win him the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

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.

2222 - Reed holes the putt, and he leads by 1 with 2 holes to play. Another dramatic finish at Doral.

2229 - Jamie Donaldson hits a clearly anti-water second shot and is in sand, looking like a certain bogey.

2230 - Reed's second shot finds the green at 17 some forty feet away.

2232 - Donaldson's bunker shot comes up some 12 feet short of the pin. A huge moment. A huge putt ahead for the Welshman, he could be on the verge of securing his place at Gleneagles in the Ryder Cup for Europe.

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.
