Tiger Woods held off an impressive field to take the Wachovia Championship by two shots from Steve Stricker.

Tiger Woods Wachovia Winner

A breathtaking front nine in the final round put Tiger Woods in control of the Wachovia Championship and he was able to hang on for victory. After hovering ominously among the leaders for most of the tournament Woods showed his class on Sunday with a front nine of 31 which included three birdies and an eagle.

Victory looked a sure thing for Woods until a bogey on the 10th and a double on the 13th brought a number of players back into contention. Steve Stricker looked the most likely to challenge with seven birdies on Sunday but a bogey on the last ended his challenge.
