Tiger Woods always knew the final piece
ofhis W orld G olfCham pionships collec­
tion would be the toughest for him to win.
David Toms made sure o f that.
Leading by as many as five holes, Woods
recovered from a few shaky shots and held
offa gritty charge by Toms to win the Match
Play Cham pionship, making him the first
player to capture all four o f the WGC
toumamentsA
“This is the hardest to win,” Woods said.
“Yeah, it’s physically grueling, but I think
it’s more mentally grueling because o f the
ebb and flow o f match play. If we had to do
this every week, every pro’s playing career
would be about 10 years.”

“M IS S IO N A R Y G O S P E L S IN G E R ”
(AP) — The last thing the
reeling Detroit Pistons needed
was a former player scoring a
career high against them.
Bonzi Wells scored 37 points
Sunday night, leading the Port­
land Trail Blazers to a 103-86
victory over Detroit and ex­
tending the Pistons’ losing
streak to seven games. Wells
took plenty o f pleasure from
adding to the Pistons’ woes.
“It feels good, especially
against the team that drafted
me and let me go,” Wells said.
“You definitely want to let a
team know who gave up on you
that you can play in this league."
The Blazers have won four in
a row. Wells was at the center
o f the latest victory, scoring 18
points in the third quarter to help
the Blazers pull away.
But it w asn’t just his offense
that impressed teammate Scot­
tie Pippen.
“He had a great game offen­
sively, he did a lot o f good things
S P R IN G
out there,” Pippen said. “ De­
fensively, his offense kind o f
overshadowed what he did de­
fensively. He was very active.
And he had a tough task, guard-
ingCorliss Williamson.”
Guarding the Pistons hasn’t
been such a difficult job re­
cently. They finished their West
Coast trip 0-5.
D etroit h ad n ’t lost seven
straight since Dec. 16-28,2001,
a streak that also began with?
five straight losses in the West

Dubai Desert Classic next week because
it’s “not a safe en vironm ent,” W oods -
w ho was 4 up after the m orning round -
kept that m argin w ith 11 holes to play.
Tw o sloppy bogeys and a few clutch
birdies by Toms brought high drama to La
Costa.
Woods, who never trailed, finally closed
him out w hen Tom s took four shots to
reach the 17th green and W oods saved
par from a bunker, holing a 3-foot putt.
“He never real ly got all the momentum,”
W oods said after a 2-and-l victory. “He
got a lot o f it, but not all o f it.”
Woods won for the 36th time on the PGA
Tour and earned $ 1,050,000. Since return­
ing from his two-month break for knee
surgery, he has won twice and tied for fifth
in three tournaments.
