TOURNAMENT RECAP
Henrik Stenson started the final round five shots back of leader Alex Cejka. Eighteen holes later, Stenson was the winner -- by four shots. The Swede was the only player on Sunday to produce a bogey-free round, as his 6-under 66 catapulted him past Cejka, who collapsed early and eventually shot 79. Five other players were tied with Stenson for second place after 54 holes, but no one could keep up with his blistering pace, including Tiger Woods, who was playing in the last group with Cejka. Woods missed three fairways that led to bogeys on the front nine and trailed by as many as eight shots on the back nine, eventually finishing with a 73. Ian Poulter ended up as the runner-up to Stenson after shooting a 70, but the day belonged to Stenson, whose accuracy and shot-making shined -- he missed only one fairway and hit 14 of 18 greens in regulation -- on a trecherous Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass that had been baked by the Florida sun.
