Steve Stricker birdied the last two holes to take a dramatic one-stroke victory at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. Stricker went level with clubhouse leaders Jason Dufner and Scott Verplank – who closed on 16-under for the tournament – on the 17th green before gaining another stroke on the par-5 18th to take the title. Dufner and Verplank had previously been set for extra holes after shooting rounds of 65 and 67 respectively to sign for 268 over four rounds. Argentina&aposs Angel Cabrera was the highest-ranked non-American, his six-under 65 enough to secure him fourth place. Irishman Padraig Harrington, who was out on his own at the top of the leaderboard after birdieing four of his first nine holes, finished two shots off the pace after slipping back to three-under for the day. Geoff Ogilvy finished the tournament strongly, his final-round five-under 66 catapulting him to outright seventh place at 14-under. Tiger Woods, out of realistic contention following his third-round 72, returned the best score of the day. But his scintilating 63, a round that included eight birdies and an eagle at the sixth, was only enough to earn him a share of 11th alongside Aussie John Senden, who finished with a two-under 69. Marc Leishman, who fired a brilliant 62 in the second round, finished in a share of 15th place at 11-under, with compatriot Jason Day a further stroke back.
