Woods captures NEC agai
ntinued
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — In an
epic battle that featured heroic
shots and great escapes. Tiger
Woods ended his winless sum
mer with a birdie Sunday on the
seventh playoff hole to defeat
Jim Furyk in the NEC
Invitational.
After they exchanged pars
for six holes, hardly any of them
conventional. Woods hit wedge
into 2 feet on No. 18 to finally
end the longest playoff on the
PGA Tour in 10 years.
“It was a war today,” said
Woods, who started the final
round two strokes behind.
“Neither one of us gave an inch.
It was fun to be a part of it.”
Furyk holed a bunker shot to
save par on the first extra hole to
extend the playoff. Woods
escaped from the trees with a
fortuitous ruling and a brilliant
ly played bump-and-run from
about 50 yards.
Furyk had three chances to
win with birdie putts from
about 12 feet.
With one last shot, a wedge
that landed just past the cup and
spun back to 2 feet away. Woods
won for the first time since the
Memorial in early June and
ended talk about what’s wrong
with his game.
Woods won the NEC
Invitational for the third straight
year, making him the first player
to take three straight tourna
ments at fabled Firestone
Country Club, a course on which
Nicklaus used to dominate.
Furyk played with courage,
keeping the pressure on Woods
until the end. His tee shot on
the final hole wound up in the
trees, and the best he could
make was a bogey.
“I don’t feel like I let any
one down today,” said Furyk,
who closed with a 71. “The
only person I let down was
myself. I can live with that.
I’ve done it before, and I’ll do
it again.”
It was a repeat finish for
Woods, at least in terms of late
theatrics.
A year ago, he hit a wedge
about the same distance in the
dark to win the NEC Invitational
by 11 strokes. This was far more
thrilling, neither player willing
to budge during a playoff that
lasted two hours.

Furyk charged onto the green
pumping his fist to celebrate one
of the best clutch shots he has
hit in his career. Woods, who
had lagged a 35-foot birdie putt
to 4 feet, calmly made his par
and they headed over to No. 17.
