06/10/2007 - Memphis, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Woody Austin was so good, it didn't matter what anyone else did.
The way he played the final round of the Stanford St. Jude Championship, no one was beating him.
"That was a true round of golf. It was one of those surprises we all get once in a while," Austin said Sunday after firing an eight-under 62 in the final round at TPC Southwind.
"I'm just lucky it happened for me when it really matters."
Austin slammed his foot on the pedal Sunday and never let up, posting six birdies and an eagle for the best round of his 13-year PGA Tour career.
He made five birdies on the back nine -- in stark contrast to overnight leader Adam Scott, who shot a 39 on the back -- and finished the tournament with 49 consecutive bogey-free holes.
In the end, Austin stood at 13-under 267 for a five-shot win over England's Brian Davis. It was the 43-year-old grinder's third PGA Tour win and first since the 2004 Buick Championship.
His first two wins came in playoffs.
"I'm shocked I'm not going into a playoff," Austin joked.
It wasn't even close.
Davis had a four-under 66 and was a distant, if not surprising, runner-up at eight-under 272. David Toms closed with a one-under 69 and finished in third place at seven-under 273.
Brian Gay (70) was fourth at six-under 274, while Brandt Snedeker (68) and Dean Wilson (68) were a shot further back at 275.
Scott entered the final round with a three-shot lead and was tied with Austin at 10-under after making a nine-foot birdie putt at the 12th hole.
But he bogeyed the 13th and made disastrous triple-bogey at the 14th, suddenly falling five back. He made one more birdie and then closed with three straight bogeys to shoot a five-over 75.
Scott finished seventh at four-under 276.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
