The rainclouds lead the golf news from Pebble Beach as a waterlogged course gifted the tournament to Dustin Johnson.

Published: 19 February 2009

The recent golf news from Pebble Beach has resulted in Dustin Johnson moving up the world rankings, reports Golf365.

Participants in the recent event were left needing their golf waterproofs after inclement weather moved in over the course during Sunday's early fourth round play.

But on Monday morning the golf news that the event had been abandoned was announced with the course waterlogged to such a degree that play could not resume.

Johnson was due to start with a four-shot lead over second-placed Mike Weir in the fourth round.

However, Golf365 notes that Sunday's play was postponed as not even golf waterproofs were enough to keep out the wind and rain.

The decision to end the event on Monday morning meant the leaderboard remained fixed for the final standings.

Johnson now ranks 45th in the world after recording his second career win, with Tiger Woods still out in front in the global rankings.
