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.
