Once again Tiger, you're the man

This was another epic performance by Wood, who set a new tournament record low total of 25 under par 263 after rounds of 65, 65, 67 and 66. Even then, Retief Goosen moved to within a shot with a closing 62 and he duly claimed the second prize of $540,000 (€554,244). Next came Vijay Singh on 21 under par with Jerry Kelly and David Toms on 20 under.

Even still, Woods wasn't the happiest camper in the world at the end of his record breaking day. A photographer with a trigger happy finger upset him as he stood over his approach shot to the 18th and he claims that contributed to his only bogey of the tournament. He had never previously shot a blemish-free 72 hole total and it was clearly something he wanted to achieve.
