Woods
Takes Wachovia
Only 5 years old, but already, the Wachovia Championship
is being regarded as one of the best stops on the Professional Golf Association
Tour with it's world-class golf course and very strong and
deep field. It's a tournament that looks and feels like
a golf major and now has a winner whose career is defined by
them.
Tiger woods added the Wachovia Championship to his
impressive resume of 57 victories. His winning score was
13-under 275, the lowest winning score in the golf
tournaments history and with it's $1.134 million first
prize pushed Tiger to the top of the FedEx Cup
standings. It was his ninth win in his last 12 Professional Golf Association Tour
starts dating back to last year's U.S. Open.
Tiger made the final day interesting with an early
birdie, eagle, birdie run that began to look like a
run-a-way golf victory but then a double bogey let Steve Stricker
back into it. Stricker was only one golf shot behind with
three to play but trouble on 16, 17 and 18 doomed his
chances. Tiger fished with a par put from 8 feet on 18
to secure the 2 stroke golf victory.
Rory Sabbatini, who was paired with Woods in the final
twosome said he had wanted Tiger for the final pairing,
but couldn't backup the talk, didn't make a par till the
10th hole and finished with a 74, tied for third with
Phil Mickelson who closed with a 70 but was never a
factor.
