Woods victorious at Buick Opei
Tiger shoots final round, 2-under 70 to win PGA warm-
GRAND BLANC, Mich.
(AP) — Tiger Woods wanned up
for the PGA Championship with
a win.
Woods shot a 2-under 70
Sunday to win the Buick Open
by four shots at 17 under. It was
his 33rd PGA Tour victory and
fourth in his last eight starts.
Esteban Toledo, who began
the final round one stroke behind
Woods, stayed with the world’s
best golfer through 12 holes, but
then collapsed with three
straight bogeys.
Toledo shot a l-over 73 to
finish at 13 under, tied for sec
ond with Mark O'Meara (68),
Brian Gay (68) and Fred Funk
(71). It matched Toledo’s best
finish.
Woods insisted he was at
Warwick Hills to win and not
just practice for the fourth major.
He opened with a 67, shot a sea-
son-best 63 on Friday and a 71
Saturday.
Although he missed a chance
to win the Grand Slam with his
28th-place tie at the British Open
three weeks ago. Woods has an
opportunity to do something no
other golfer has, beginning
Thursday at Hazeltine in
Chaska, Minn.
Woods, who won this year’s
Masters and U.S. Open, will be
the first to win three majors in a
year twice if he wins the PGA
Championship. Ben Hogan did it
in 1953 and Woods, who has
won seven of the last 12 majors,
did it two years ago.
He can also be the first player
to win a major after winning a
tournament the previous week
since Sandy Lyle won the
Greater Greensboro Open and
the Masters in 1988.
Woods is 25-2 in PGA Tour
events when leading or tied for
the lead after 54 holes. Since
1958, just 16 of 38 players who
have at least shared the lead after
54 holes have won the Buick
Open.
Woods and Toledo were
essentially engaged in match
play while the rest of the field
failed to threaten them, until the
former professional boxer
bogeyed Nos. 13-15.
On No. I, a hole he double
bogeyed on Saturday, Woods
opened a two-stroke lead with a
birdie.
Toledo got the stroke back
with a 20-foot birdie putt on No.
4. Woods missed a 6-foot putt to
bogey 5 and fall into a tie at 15
under.
Woods went back ahead by a
stroke on No. 6 with a 40-foot
birdie putt. The crowd roared
when he punched the air — as he
has done countless times — with
his right fist. Both players
birdied No. 7.
Toledo allowed Woods to go
ahead by two strokes when he
missed a 5-foot putt at No. 9, but
got the shot back with a birdie on
the next hole.
Refusing to let Toledo’s con
fidence grow. Woods put his tee
shot a foot from the pin at the
par-3 l Ith, and made the birdie
for another two-stroke lead.
Toledo bounced back with a
birdie on 12 to pull within a
stroke before falling apart with
bogeys at Nos. 13 and 14, among
the easiest holes, and at 15.
Woods double-bogeyed 17 to
fall to 17 under, but was still
three strokes ahead. Toledo
bogeyed 18.

HOUSTON (AP) — Everything went just
right for Chipper Jones.
Jones had a career-high five hits and
scored three runs, and Kevin Millwood won
for the ninth time in 10 decisions as the
Atlanta Braves routed the Houston Astros 13-
3 Sunday.
Atlanta had a season-high 20 hits in win

Every Braves starter had a hit. The 20 hits

hits, while striking out six and walking two in

of a ^trained right hamstring, doubled in the
second and third innings, and singled in the
fourth, seventh and ninth. He also walked in
the fifth inning.
Houston lost for just the fifth time in its
last 16 games.
Atlanta went ahead 8-2 after a five-run
third inning, aided by one of Houston’s season
high-tying three errors.
Franco led off with a single and scored on
Gary Sheffield’s 21st home run of the season.
Chipper Jones then doubled, moved to third
on a wild pitch by Dave Mlicki (4-6) and
scored when shortstop Julio Lugo made a bad
throw on Andruw Jones’ grounder for an
error. Henry Blanco drove in Jones with a sin
gle and scored on a double by Rafael Furcal.
Mlicki lasted just 2 1-3 innings. He gave
up eight runs — six earned — on eight hits.
The Braves increased their lead to 10-2 in
the fourth when Vinny Castilla hit a sacrifice
fly and Andruw Jones scored on a bases
loaded catcher’s interference call against Greg
Zaun with Millwood at-bat.
Atlanta added two runs in the sixth on
Furcal’s sixth home run of the season.

the season in the sixth inning to cut the
Houston deficit to 12-3.

CLEVELAND (AP) — All
Rodriguez wanted to talk about
teammate Travis Hafner.
Rodriguez had his AL-leading 38th homer,
and Hafner nearly hit for the cycle to lead the
Texas Rangers to an 11 -5 victory over the
Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

Triple-A Oklahoma City, went 4-for-5 with
