Woods had a five-stroke lead with seven holes to play when 19-year-old Sergio Garcia came storming back and closed to within one. The shot of the year came on the 16th, when Garcia gouged out a 6-iron from between tree roots -- his eyes closed, no less -- and reached the green to make his par. Woods saved par on the 17th with an 8-foot putt and two-putted for par on the 18th to close with a 72. He finished at 11-under 277 for a one-stroke victory over Garcia. |
