Tiger hunts down victory
07 January 2007
Woods had his problems over the difficult closing stretch, but a three-under-par 69 was easily good enough to fend off his rivals in tough, windy conditions at Quail Hollow.
He finished at 13-under 275 for his 57th career victory on the PGA Tour, and his third victory in six starts this year.
Steve Stricker (69) pulled his second shot into the creek at the brutal par-four 18th, but salvaged a bogey to finish second on 11-under.
And Phil Mickelson (70) sneaked into a tie for third place with Rory Sabbatini (74) at nine-under when several other contenders made a mess of the last.
Woods started the day a stroke behind overnight leader Sabbatini, but took command by picking up four shots in a brilliant three-hole stretch from the par-five seventh.
That gave him the cushion to withstand a double bogey at the par-three 13th.
