PGA Championship - Tiger Runs Away With Another One

Sunday August 20, 2006
Another major championship, another major in which Tiger Woods runs away with it on Sunday. Woods won his third PGA Championship and 12th overall major, birdying the first hole and pulling away after that to a 5-shot victory over runner-up Shaun Micheel.

Third-round co-leader Luke Donald backed up early and never mounted a charge. Mike Weir made a couple birdies early and at different times was just one stroke back and at 15-under, but never was able to string anything together to keep up with Woods, then faltered late. Adam Scott mounted a charge, but started too far back.

Here's the final Top 5:

Tiger Woods, -18 (270)
Shaun Micheel, -13 (275)
Luke Donald, -12 (276)
Sergio Garcia, -12 (276)
Adam Scott, -12 (276)
