Gary Woodland Wins First PGA Tour Title
21/03/2011
Gary Woodland (FJ ICON) won the Transitions Championship with a final round 67. Woodland started the day at 11 under, 2 strokes off of the 54 hole lead and quickly took advantage of his herculean length with a birdie at the par 5 1st to close the gap on the leaders. His steady play continued through the front nine as he finished with a bogey free 34.
His second nine was a different story; it included 5 birdies, 3 bogeys, and 1 par on the eighteenth hole to finish off victorious. Woodland's power is usually the topic of conversation; but it was his putter that saved the day as he needed only 23 putts in the final round. After the round Woodland said, "One thing that helped me was putting, and today it saved me...Luckily, it won me a golf tournament."
This is Woodland's first PGA Tour victory, it also earned him a coveted spot in this years Masters Tournament where his combination of length and touch around the greens could make him a contender.
