Trailing by seven shots with seven holes to play, Tiger Woods catches fire to post a final-round 64 (a tourney record) and capture the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am by two strokes over Vijay Singh and Matt Gogel, earning his sixth straight victory on the PGA Tour. The pivotal hole of the final round is the 15th, where Woods holes out a sand wedge from 100 yards for an eagle and Gogel cards a bogey. Woods finishes in birdie-par-birdie fashion to complete his remarkable comeback and equal Ben Hogan’s feat of six straight tourney wins in 1948. Byron Nelson won 11 straight events in 1945.
