Woods heads top Doral line-up

THE countdown to next month’s Masters at Augusta starts in earnest today as the US Tour kicks off its ‘Florida Swing’ with nine of the world’s top 10 competing in the Ford Championship at Doral.

There will be no complaints if the event produces a re-run of last year. Phil Mickelson led after two and three rounds, but came off second best in a last day head-to-head with Tiger Woods.

With closing rounds of 63 and 66 Woods, five behind at halfway, triumphed by one - and with it regained the world number one spot from third-placed Vijay Singh.
