who has already won seven times this year, shot his 28th consecutive round of par or better. Woods, the
defending champion, needed only five holes to take the lead and despite bogeying two of his last three
holes on the back nine he finished with a one stroke lead over Jim Furyk. Furyk shot a 5-under-par 65
for a one stroke lead over Darren Clark, Carlos Franco, Justin Leonard, Phil Mickelson, Phillip Price, and
Lee Westwood. Franco, Leonard and Mickelson all shot bogey free rounds for their 66. Finishing in ninth
place were Stuart Appleby, Ernie Els, Jose Maria Olazabal and Loren Roberts at 3-under 67. Twenty-one
players shot below par in the first round and twenty-one players shot under 70.
In the second round Woods increased his lead by seven strokes with a 61, tying the course record, for a
15-under-par 125 total. Woods shot a 10-foot birdie on the 17th for a chance to set a new course record
but then shot into the rough on 18 for his 61. Second went to Phil Mickelson who shot a consecutive 66
for an 8-under-par 132 total. Mickelson finished in this tournament last year one stroke behind Woods.
Third place went to Justin Leonard who shot a 67 for a 7-under-par 133 total. Jim Furyk finished in 4th
place shooting a second round 69 for a 6-under-par 134 total. Fifth place went to Phillip Price and Lee
Westwood both with 69s for 5-under-par 135 totals. Finishing one stroke back were Loren Roberts and
Hal Sutton with 4-under-par 136s. Twenty players shot below 70, and below par, in Friday's round. The
37-man field consist of U.S. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team members and the top 12 players from
the European PGA Tour money list.
In the third round Tiger Woods increased his lead to nine strokes with a 67. Despite being stung on his
left finger by a wasp Woods still managed to set a new 54 hole record of 18-under-par 192. Woods
birdied his first hole, then eagled the 2nd, for the third day in a row to move to an 11 stoke advantage. Second place went to Phil Mickelson, Phillip Price and Hal Sutton all with 9-under 201 totals. Mickelson
was within six strokes of Woods until he bogeyed the 17th and then double bogeyed the 18th for a 69.
Sutton shot the low round of the day, a 65, that included a hole-in-one on the 12th while Price, who was
playing in his first tournament in America, carded a 66. Fifth place went to Loren Roberts with a 66 for
an 8-under-par 202 total. Jim Furyk shot a consecutive 69 for a 7-under-par 203 total and sixth place.
Justin Leonard took seventh while Colin Montgomerie shot a 66 for eighth place. Stuart Appleby, Andrew
Coltart and Ernie Els shared ninth place with 3-under-par 207s.
In the final round Tiger Woods went wire-to-wire with a consecutive 67 for a 21-under-par 259 total that
earned him $1,000,000. Woods, who was never challenged, began the final round with a nine stroke
lead and no one came with in five strokes. After the three hour storm delay Woods finished in the dark
with a birdie on the 18th. Woods' 259 total not only broke the tournament record but was also his lowest
72-hole score. Second place went to Justin Leonard and Phillip Price with 10-under-par 270s. Price was
within five strokes of Woods until he bogeyed the three of his last four holes for a 69. Jim Furyk, Phil
Mickelson and Hal Sutton shared fourth place with 9-under-par 271s. Stewart Cink finished in seventh
with a final round 63, the low round of the day, while Paul Azinger and Colin Montgomerie shared eighth
place with 7-under 273s. Tenth place was shared by Thomas Bjorn and Jose Maria Olazabal at 6-under-
par 274s earning them $125,000 each.
