Toms Marches On In Match Play Championship
February 20, 2008 04:06 PM

Another match, another win for David Toms at the WGC Match Play Championships. In his opening round match against defending Masters champion, Zach Johnson, Toms holed out a short birdie putt on 17 to win, 2-and-1.

The Airline and LSU alum is now 23-7 in Match Play Championship competition, including a 6-0 mark on the way to the title in 2005. The twenty-third win leaves Toms two victories behind Tiger Woods for the most in Match Play Championship history.

Toms key to victory? "I got off to a good start, I was a couple up, early on," Toms said. " Zach holed out from the fairway (No. 5) and made a nice birdie on four... got back to even and then we just kind of played solid golf the rest of the way." Toms added, "For the most part, I drove the ball well and scored really well... I'm looking forward to the rest of the week."

And perhaps taking over Tiger as the most prolific winner in Match Play Championship history.
