Tiger Woods took his third title of the year at the US$6.4
million Wachovia Championship with 3-under-par 69 in North Carolina
on Sunday.
Woods finished at 13-under 275 for his 57th career victory on
the PGA Tour.
Steve Stricker (69) pulled his second shot into the creek at the
brutal par-4 18th but salvaged a bogey to finish second at 277.
Phil Mickelson (70) snuck into a tie for third with South
African Rory Sabbatini (74) at 279 when several other contenders
made a mess of the difficult last hole.
Woods, 31, collected US$1.134 million to move to the top of the
money list and the FedEx Cup points table.
"This week I didn't really have my best stuff, but it was good
enough," he said. "But I made a lot of putts this week, some
crucial par putts from six to eight feet, which you have to
make."
