A final-round 65 gave Toms a 19-under
261 total and allowed him to pull away from Chad
Campbell and Rory Sabbatini for a five-shot victory
in the first full-field event of 2006 on the PGA
Tour.
Toms holed a 25-foot birdie putt
on No. 3, twice made good par saves, then closed
out his front nine with a five-wood just short
of the par-5 ninth for a four-shot lead. The only
drama was the margin of Toms' victory, and whether
he would finish his final 2½ rounds without
a bogey. That string ran out at No. 13 when Toms
missed a five-foot par putt, ending a streak of
41 holes at par or better, and the first 5 on
his scorecard over the same stretch. It was his
12th career victory, and it should be enough to
put him back in the top 10 of the World Golf Rankings.
