Woods Beats Hole Of Career

NOTES ON THE CHAMP

This was Woods' third win on the PGA Tour in 2006 and his 49th in his PGA Tour career.

His major breakdown goes like this: Masters (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005); U.S. Open (2000, 2002), British Open (2000, 2005, 2006) and PGA Championship (1999, 2000).

* There was some sort of protest on the 18th green when the final pair waited to hit their approaches. Purple paint cannisters were broken on the green, but it did not impact either players' shots.

* Chris DiMarco moved into sixth position on the United States Ryder Cup team points list, almost assuring himself a spot on Tom Lehman's team in about one month. The team will be finalized after the PGA Championship. Lucas Glover was bounced from the top 10.

* The easiest hole in Sunday's final round was the 554-yard, par-five 16th, which played to an average of 4.45. It was also the easiest hole of the week with an average of 4.41.

* Carnoustie will host next year's British Open Championship. The last time the event was held at Carnoustie was 1999 when Paul Lawrie won a playoff against 1997 winner Justin Leonard and Jean van de Velde. The trio got in at plus-six, but the tournament is most famous for Van de Velde's horrible collapse on the 72nd hole.

I've had a day or two to think about this British Open and now feel ready to make this somewhat bold statement - I think this was his greatest major victory since the Masters in 1997.

For a man who is known for his length and how that length and style of play could lead him to 10 green jackets, Woods played in a completely opposite manner at Hoylake. He hit one driver the whole week. Think about that for one minute...

All Woods did was hit two-irons with an occasional three-wood. He didn't need anything else considering the fairways were faster than a bowling lane. That led Woods to hit almost 85 percent of the fairways. That's staggering. Think about that for one minute...
