  • Although Woods had a significantly lower adjusted scoring average than Furyk (68.11 to Furyk's 68.86), Woods had taken several weeks off earlier in the season to mourn his father's death and was 5 rounds short of the 60-round requirement to win the Vardon Trophy. The Byron Nelson Award requires only 50 rounds for eligibility.
