Tiger Woods's winning streak was snapped when Australian Geoff Ogilvy kept his nerve to win the WGC-CA Championship.
Woods, who had won his last seven tournaments worldwide and had not been defeated since September, finished fifth, two shots behind Ogilvy.
Ogilvy finished on 17-under-par, one shot ahead of South African Retief Goosen, American Jim Furyk and Fiji's Vijay Singh who were all tied for second place.
The remaining holes of the competition were finished today after weather disrupted yesterday's play.
The luck went for Ogilvy who saved par on the 13th with a 30-foot chip that would have gone well past the hole if it had not struck the flag.
'It was a pretty stellar looking leaderboard over those last nine holes, so it was very satisfying to beat those players and to win a big one. It was nice,' said Ogilvy, who hit just one bogey in 72 holes at the event.
Woods said that after a frustrating round and a generally disappointing week in terms of missing putts for birdies, it was not a bad result.
'I made too many mistakes this week. I had four three-putts this week and I had two terrible lies in bunkers and a photographer got me on nine. With all that, to only finish two back, I think that's a great sign,' he told reporters.
The 13-times major winner, whose focus will now switch to next month's Masters, said that the media and fans had not fully appreciated what his winning streak involved and the fine line between victory and failure.
'I think the people that truly understand are the players. I don't think you guys really understand or even the fans out there just how small the difference is.
'If I just cleaned up my round this week then obviously I am right up there with Geoff, if not just a little bit ahead,' he said.
'I had ample chances to get myself up there on that board and win the tournament and I just didn't do it.'
The last time Woods was beaten was in September when he tied for second at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Norton, Massachusetts.
He had won nine of his last ten competitions, including the unofficial Target World Challenge held in Thousand Oaks, California in December.
Ireland's Graeme McDowell carded a final round 73 to end on two-under.
