ATLANTA (AP) – A clutch shot and a flawless performance by U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen contrasted with a rare collapse by Tiger Woods.

In a fitting end to the PGA Tour season, the unflappable Goosen closed with a 6-under 64 to win the Tour Championship by four shots and become only the third player to overtake Woods in the final round.

Goosen made up a four-shot deficit on the front nine at East Lake, took the outright lead with a 35-foot birdie putt on the 13th and ended all the suspense with the best shot of the tournament.

From 195 yards in the rough, he hit a 5-iron within 3 feet for the only birdie of the day on the 481-yard 16th hole.

Losing a 54-hole lead almost never happens to Woods, although this has been a year like no other for him.

He lost a 36-hole lead in consecutive weeks in May for the first time in five years. And now he ends the season with only one victory, matching his lowest output in nine years on tour. He also won only once in 1998.

Woods’ only victory this year was the Match Play Championship in late February, and he now has gone 20 stroke-play tournaments without winning, the longest drought of his career.

“Very disappointing,” Woods said. “I felt like I had a golden opportunity to win a tournament.”

It was only the third time that Woods has failed to protect a 54-hole lead. Ed Fiori beat him in the 1996 Quad City Classic, and Phil Mickelson beat him at East Lake in the 2000 Tour Championship.

Mizuno Classic

OTSU, Japan – Annika Sorenstam matched the LPGA Tour record for consecutive victories in a tournament, winning the Mizuno Classic for the fourth straight season to lock up her seventh player of the year title.

Closing with a 7-under 65 for her second straight nine-stroke victory in the event, Sorenstam won her seventh LPGA Tour title of the year and 55th overall – tying Betsy Rawls for fifth place on the career list.

“It has been a wonderful week,” Sorenstam said. “I thought I played some great golf, so I’m very happy to be the winner today.”

The Swedish star finished at 22-under 194, two strokes off her tour-record mark in 2003 on the Seta course. She made only one bogey in three rounds – on the ninth hole Saturday – after playing bogey free last year.

Sorenstam tied the tour record for consecutive victories in an event set by Laura Davies in the 1994-97 Standard Register Ping, and matched Kathy Whitworth’s mark of seven player of the year awards, topping the points race for the fourth straight year.

Vietnam Masters

HANOI, Vietnam – Former U.S. Open champion Corey Pavin finished third in the inaugural Vietnam Masters, which was won by Angelo Que of the Philippines.

Que shot a 2-under 70 in the final round for a two-stroke victory. He had a four-round total of 12-under 276 in the Asian Tour event. He pulled ahead of third-round leader Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand, who was runner-up after a 74.

Pavin, who closed with a 70, birdied the third, fifth and seventh holes but was slowed by a bogey on the 13th. He will now tour the country for a week with his Vietnamese wife, Lisa.

“I just didn’t keep it going and it was frustrating, but I tried my hardest out there,” said Pavin, who won the U.S. Open in 1995. “I’m now looking forward to seeing the rest of Vietnam.”
