SYNOPSIS
Tiger Woods' run to his third World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship started with a nail-biter and ended in a rout. Woods was 3 down with five holes to play in his opening match with J.B. Holmes and ended up winning 1 up. His 36-hole title tilt with Stewart Cink was considerably easier as he beat the Georgia Tech product 8 and 7. The win was his fourth straight on TOUR and the 63rd of his career, allowing Woods to pass Arnold Palmer into fourth all-time. "If you would have asked me would I have attained what I have right now when I first turned pro at 20 years old, no," Woods said. "I could never have foreseen my victory total being this high, my game improvement being as much as it has been, my knowledge of the game. I would never have foreseen that. I knew I was going to get better, but I didn't think I was going to have this victory total when I first turned pro, no."
