• Rock Solid Performance: Woods at the Buick Invitational

Not only did Tiger Woods dominate this weekend in terms of scoring, but he also excelled statistically. Although he ranked towards the bottom of the field in driving accuracy, Woods was able to convert on his approach shots and ranked second in greens in regulation. Additionally, he was the leader in putts per round and carded nearly double the number of birdies than the average player in the field.

The following scoremap depicts the path taken by the champion and top finishers to arrive at the final winning score. The vertical axis on the left represents the number of strokes a player was ahead or behind the final leading score at a given point in time.
