[Golf] Woods’ Winning Streak Stopped at Seven

The winning streak of Tiger Woods has ended at seven tournaments.

Woods finished the CA Championship in Miami in fifth place and two strokes behind winner Geoff Ogilvy of Australia.

Ogilvy’s win snapped Woods’ win streak that had begun in September last year. Having putting troubles in his latest event, Woods failed to gain ground in the third round.

Woods, however, is aiming to win the season’s first major tournament, The Masters, which he has won four times. Should he prevail, he will win his 14th career title.

K.J. Choi of Korea finished 12th at 10-under-278 in Miami.

Ogilvy won his fourth PGA Tour title, to add to his wins at the U.S. Open, the Accenture Match Play and the Tucson Open.
