Stanley Chou/Getty Images(KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia) -- Nick Watney won the CIMB Classic in Malaysia on Sunday, shooting a 61 in the final round to win the event by one stroke over Robert Garrigus and Bo Van Pelt.

The 31-year-old Watney tied for the lead on the 13th hole with a birdie. He would proceed to birdie three of the final five holes to win the $1.3 million prize.

“The difference between the first round and the last three was definitely putting,” Watney said of his performance. “Today I putted as good as I have since the Barclays tournament in the States a while back.”

Tim Tebow Reacts to Being Voted "Most Overrated Player In the NFL"

Jim McIsaac/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow was recently voted as the NFL's most overrated player according to a player's poll put together by Sports Illustrated. Tebow is confused how he wound up number one on the list.

Before the season started, Tebow was also voted as one of the top 100 players in the NFL, which is also a player's poll.

"Really doesn't bother me too much," Tebow said. "The same players this offseason voted me in the Top 100, so I guess there's several ways you can look at it."

Tebow tried to rationalize why he'd be on both lists.

"They're probably just getting a little sick of hearing all the talk and everything y'all have to say," Tebow told reporters.

Tebow has been used sparingly in his first season with the Jets. He's completed two of three attempted passes for 32 yards, and has 76 yards rushing.

Mark Sanchez, the Jets starting quarterback, was voted as the second most overrated player in the NFL.

Dodgers Outfielder Carl Crawford Regrets Waiting to Have Surgery

Rick Yeatts/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) -- Former Boston Red Sox Outfielder Carl Crawford is expressing regret over waiting until July to have reconstructive elbow surgery because he felt the pressure to play for the team as fast as possible.

Crawford was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers about a month after he underwent Tommy John surgery. He said he experienced elbow discomfort as early as April, but the pressure of playing in Boston got the best of him.

"I tried to push a little bit," Crawford said. "With the Boston Fans, you've got to try. A big deal was made about my money and stuff, so I tried to prove it and play for the team. Maybe I shouldn't have done that, I should have taken care of myself when the doctor told me to."

Crawford singed a seven-year deal with the Red Sox worth $142 million prior to the start of the 2011 season. In his first season in Boston, Crawford hit just .255 and had one of the worst seasons of his career. In 2012, Crawford played in just 31 games.

The Dodgers hope that Crawford can rejoin the team sometime in April or May.

Georgia Knocks Out Florida, 17-9

Sam Greenwood/Getty Images(JACKSONVILLE, Fla.) -- No. 10 Georgia (7-1) forced No. 2 Florida (7-1) into six turnovers as the Bulldogs smacked the Gators, 17-9, putting them in the driver seat in the SEC East.

Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones had 13 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles in the win.

"I had a great game, but it's about what we did as a defense," Jones said. "All of us did what we came here to do."

Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray connected with Malcolm Mitchell on a 45-yard touchdown pass with 7:08 left in the game, to pretty much seal the contest.

If Georgia can win its next two games against Mississippi and Auburn, it will clinch the SEC East and a berth into the SEC championship game.

Arizona Dumps USC in Desert

Streeter Lecka/Getty Images(TUSCON, Ariz.) -- Arizona withstood a record breaking day from USC receiver Marquise Lee, as it held off the ninth ranked Trojans 39-36.

Lee caught 16 passes for a Pac 12 record 345 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.

USC (6-2) actually had control of the game early in the third quarter after quarterback Matt Barkley hooked up with Lee for 44-yard touchdown making it 28-13. Arizona rallied though behind quarterback Matt Scott, who produced three of his four touchdowns after that point.

"Matt's a stud," Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said. "I think he's one of the best quarterbacks in the country. We're riding Matt Scott all the way."

Scott finished with 469 total yards in the win.

Arizona (5-3) heads to the Rose Bowl next weekend to take on UCLA, while USC hosts Oregon.
