He won by three strokes over Australia's Geoff Ogilvy and his final score of 25-under 263 was a tournament record, beating by three strokes South Africa's Ian Palmer, who shot a 268 in 1992. Woods had eight birdies in his final-day round and one of the eagles he missed came on the 14th hole, when his putt stopped at the edge of the hole. I had a lot of family and friends out there. Ogilvy was astonished. It is patently ridiculous and that was as good as I could have played.
All credit goes to Tiger.
He's the best. He's the king. Ironically, the victory maintained Tiger's undefeated record in Thailand. He won the Johnnie Walker Classic in 1998 and in 1997 he claimed the Asian Honda Classic. The 1998 Walker was played on Thailand's Phuket Island, and the Asian Honda was held here in Bangkok.
