Steve Stricker birdied the last two holes to take a dramatic victory in 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. Argentine Angel Cabrera's six-under 65 was enough to secure him fourth place. Irishman Padraig Harrington, who was out on his own at the top of the leaderboard after birdying four of his first nine holes, finished two shots off the pace after slipping back to three-under for the day.

Tiger Woods, out of contention after his third-round 72, stood 11th despite a scintillating round of 63 including eight birdies and an eagle at the sixth.
