Woods Forces a Playoff With a Dramatic Birdie on 18
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
One shot behind after a collapse no one saw coming, Woods birdied the 18th hole to force sudden death at Torrey Pines against a journeyman with a creaky back who simply wouldn't go away. (article 10) Woods, who led by one shot overnight, continued to struggle with a painful left knee but drained a 12-footer on the 72nd hole to keep his hopes alive. (article 18) SAN DIEGO - Rocco Mediate had hoped to play in the final pairing with Tiger Woods on Sunday, saying all he wanted was a chance to compete against the world's best player. (article 13) Woods slithered a 12-foot birdie putt into the right side of the cup at No. 18 to pull even with Mediate on Sunday's 72nd hole and force one extra day of adrenaline at Torrey Pines. (article 12) At times wincing as pain shot through his surgically repaired left knee, at times smiling in disbelief as another of his shots disappeared in the hole, Woods played himself into position to win his 14th major championship. (article 19) With unbearable pain and three unforgettable shots, Woods turned in one of his most memorable performances in a major Saturday by holing two long eagle putts, chipping in for birdie and somehow taking a one-shot lead over Lee Westwood.
