WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship - Latest PGA Tour Golf News
David Toms wins going away at the Accenture Match Play Championship thumping a bewildered Chris DiMarcoCurrent PGA Tour News David Toms played unbelievable golf to reach the finals of the Match Play Championship. Then David Toms delivered the most dominant performance in the seven-year history of the tournament. He won eight out of nine holes on Sunday to put away Chris DiMarco before lunch. In the afternoon Tom's hit his stride and put together the largest margin of victory ever in the 36-hole final at La Costa Resort.
The score finished up at 6 and 5 but it could have been much worse. Toms was 9 up at one point with a chance to finish off the match on the ninth hole. DiMarco played his best golf when the outcome was no longer in doubt, making three straight birdies, but all that did was prolong the inevitable.
Toms earned $1.3 million and his 11th career PGA Tour victory, including his first ever World Golf Championship title. His record in the Accenture Match Play Championship improved to 18-5, second only to the 21-4 mark by two-time defending champion Tiger Woods.
DiMarco looked like he was in shock when Toms sank an 8-foot birdie putt on the 13th hole to finish the match. The match was close through nine holes when Toms went on another run, making birdie on five of the next six holes to take a 6-up lead after the morning round, the largest ever. It was at this time that the few remaining fans at La Costa knew this match was all but over.
