Charley Hoffman fired a nine-under 62 to win the Deutsche Bank Championship by five strokes yesterday as Tiger Woods held onto his world number one ranking.
Tiger Woods shot 68 and tied for 11th. Phil Mickelson squandered a chance to replace him, making two double bogeys on the back nine. He finished with a 76.
American Hoffman rolled in 11 birdies, including four straight birdies early to make up a four-shot deficit on the TPC Boston.
His victory came in the PGA's second playoff event and propelled him to number two in the FedEx Cup standings.
