Woody Austin wins St. Jude

Golf Betting Lines

06/10/2007 - Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Woody Austin was so good, it didn't matter what anyone else did.

The way he played the final round of the Stanford St. Jude Championship, no one was beating him.

"That was a true round of golf. It was one of those surprises we all get once in a while," Austin said Sunday after firing an eight-under 62 in the final round at TPC Southwind.

"I'm just lucky it happened for me when it really matters."

Austin slammed his foot on the pedal Sunday and never let up, posting six birdies and an eagle for the best round of his 13-year PGA Tour career.

He made five birdies on the back nine -- in stark contrast to overnight leader Adam Scott, who shot a 39 on the back -- and finished the tournament with 49 consecutive bogey-free holes.

In the end, Austin stood at 13-under 267 for a five-shot win over England's Brian Davis. It was the 43-year-old grinder's third PGA Tour win and first since the 2004 Buick Championship.

His first two wins came in playoffs.

"I'm shocked I'm not going into a playoff," Austin joked.

It wasn't even close.

Davis had a four-under 66 and was a distant, if not surprising, runner-up at eight-under 272. David Toms closed with a one-under 69 and finished in third place at seven-under 273.

Brian Gay (70) was fourth at six-under 274, while Brandt Snedeker (68) and Dean Wilson (68) were a shot further back at 275.

Scott entered the final round with a three-shot lead and was tied with Austin at 10-under after making a nine-foot birdie putt at the 12th hole.

But he bogeyed the 13th and made disastrous triple-bogey at the 14th, suddenly falling five back. He made one more birdie and then closed with three straight bogeys to shoot a five-over 75.

Scott finished seventh at four-under 276.
