The American Express Tournament Review and Notebook

Si Woo Kim posted his 8-under (64) to win The American Express by one stroke over Patrick Cantlay after going bogey free in three rounds on the PGA WEST Stadium Course, including his final 36 holes.

Cameron Davis carded his best career PGA Tour finish with a bogey-free 8-under (64).

AmEx 54-hole co-leader Max Homa (-11) finished T-21 after closing with a 4-over (76).

January 25, 1997 - Tigers Woods hits one of the most memorable shots in golf history in the third round of the Phoenix Open (see below). Woods hit his nine-iron on the 155-yard 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale for a hole-in-one in front of the most raucous crowd on the PGATour.
