CBS' coverage of the final round of the PGA Tour Northern Trust open led all overnights among non-Olympic sports programming over the weekend. The Sunday telecast drew a 1.9 overnight, which saw Bubba Watson win his first Tour event since The Masters in '12. The golf telecast finished just ahead of FS1's 1.8 overnight for the NASCAR Sprint Unlimited race on Saturday night. That race aired on Fox last year. Fox also had its first college basketball telecast of the '13-14 season on Saturday, with Xavier-Marquette drawing only a 0.4 overnight. By comparison, ESPN drew a 0.7 overnight for Indiana-Purdue in the same window, while ESPN2 drew a 0.4 for Oklahoma-Oklahoma State.
