Sabbatini Pulls Out Of Target World Challenge
THOUSAND OAKS, California - South Africa's Rory Sabbatini withdrew from the Target World Challenge before the start of Sunday's final round, citing personal reasons.
The 31-year-old, playing in the elite 16-man event for the first time, propped up the leaderboard after shooting a four-over-par 76 in Saturday's third round.
That gave him an overall total of 10-over 226, leaving him 28 strokes behind the pacesetting Tiger Woods, the three-times champion who hosts the tournament.
According to PGA Tour officials, Sabbatini cleared out his locker on Saturday night before informing tournament organizers on Sunday morning he had pulled out of the event.
The South African was scheduled to fly to the Hawaiian island of Maui later in the day to prepare for the opening event of the 2008 PGA Tour season, the Jan 3-6 Mercedes-Benz Championship.
Tournament officials said Sabbatini, a four-times winner on the PGA Tour, would still earn the last-place cheque for $170,000 at the Target World Challenge.
Woods is overwhelming favorite to clinch his eighth victory of the year after stretching his overnight lead to six shots in Saturday's third round.
The world number one fired a five-under-par 67 at Sherwood Country Club for an 18-under total of 198.
