One of the big reasons why Tiger Woods won the World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship last week was his success on the greens at the TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral. The 100 putts that he needed during the four rounds was the lowest total of his career at a four-round event, but that only tells part of the stastical story. Take a look at these numbers:
MOST PUTTS MADE OVER 8 FEET (Tiger Woods in the ShotLink era)

TIGER'S 27 BIRDIES AT WGC-CADILLAC (by feet)
