Norton, Mass. Sept. 4: Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk shot 8-under 63s Friday to highlight a burst of low scoring and share the lead after one round of the Deutsche Bank Championship.

Tiger Woods, meanwhile, found himself seven shots off the pace.

In the second of the PGA Tour's four playoff tournaments, Stricker put himself in excellent position to take the lead in the race for the FedEx Cup.

Stricker came into the tournament trailing only Woods in the points race and a victory this week would vault Stricker into first place.

Furyk is trying for his first victory since 2007. Never in his career has he gone two straight seasons without a win.

Harrington keeps Bridgestone lead

Akron, Ohio Aug. 7: Padraig Harrington kept his lead at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Friday, while Tiger Woods failed to make a charge in his bid for a fifth victory in 2009.

Harrington made changes in his swing after winning two major championships last year and promptly began to struggle.

A 64 in the opening round, however, gave him confidence those changes are paying off and he added a 69 Friday at the Firestone Country Club South Course.

His 7-under 133 total gave him a one-shot lead over Tim Clark and a two-shot advantage over Scott Verplank.

Woods, who won the Buick Open title a week ago, settled for a 70 on a day when 27 members of the 80-player field had better scores. Woods, though, was well within challenging range at 2-under 138.

Woods goes for two in a row

Akron, Ohio Aug. 5: Tiger Woods will seek his second consecutive victory beginning Thursday at the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational.

The event will be played at the Firestone Country Club's South Course, where Woods has posted six victories.

After missing the cut at the British Open, Woods added last week's Buick Open to his schedule and rallied over the final three rounds to his fourth win in 11 appearances this season.

That victory came against a field that included only one other member of the top 10 on the FedEx Cup points list. This week, however, 49 of the top 50 players in the world will be present.

Cabrera wins Masters in playoff

Augusta, Ga. -- Angel Cabrera of Argentina parred the second hole of a playoff Sunday to win the Masters, his second major championship in two years.

Cabrera entered the playoff with Kenny Perry and Chad Campbell, who dropped out with a bogey on the first extra hole.

The Argentine then won with a two-putt par after Perry missed a 20-foot par attempt.

The three golfers had tied at 12-under-par 276 in regulation. Campbell shot a 69 in the final round, and Cabrera and Perry both had 71.

Cabrera took his other major title in 2007, capturing the U.S. Open.

Perry, 48, was trying to become the oldest player ever to win a major and seemed in command until he bogeyed the final two holes, creating the playoff.
