David Toms took the Wachovia Championship in Charlotte after suviving a quadruple-bogey eight on the final hole to secure his eighth PGA Tour title. The 2001 PGA Championship winner took a five-shot lead into the final day and was six clear as he approached the final hole.
A catalogue of errors saw his advantage drastically reduced, but he had done enough to clinch a two-shot win, a closing one-over-par 73 seeing him finish on 10 under for the tournament.
Tied for second were Vijay Singh (68), Brent Geiberger (69) and Robert Gamez (70). Nick Price (70) and Kirk Triplett (71) were another shot back in joint-fifth.
Toms, who failed to win last season, said: "The driver is what won this golf tournament for me this week. That last hole was just a fluke, the rest of the week was perfect. I'm just glad it's over with. It's been a long time coming and I was just trying to get it in the hole there on the 18th and I could barely do it."
