Tiger Woods on a Roll
PGA November 23rd, 2005Monday, I made a short post about Woods going for the PGA Tour Grand Slam after winning the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament. He won that tournament today, by a commanding five strokes, for the second straight year. This will probably be the last successive Grand Slam in Kauai Hawaii, although it may return for a year in the distant future.
Woods was never seriously threatened. He opened with a 67 for a three-stroke lead over Mickelson, and quickly widened the gap to five with birdies on Nos. 2 and 3.
He finished with two eagles, five birdies and a bogey in relatively calm conditions on the oceanside 7,123-yard Poipu Bay Golf Course. He was bogey-free on the back nine for the second day.
Although Woods began to have trouble late in the season, he clearly rebounded in the end.
Woods won six times on tour this year, including the Masters and British Open, and finished atop the money list with more than $10 million. He last qualified for Kauai in 2002, when he earned his fifth straight Grand Slam title by beating Davis Love III and Justin Leonard by 14 strokes.
I guess he is still proving why he’s number one.
