Oosthuizen covered the flag on one of the toughest par 3s at the TPC Boston, though the ball settled 20 feet behind the cup and he narrowly missed. McIlroy followed with a beautiful swing of his own, a towering shot that drew gently and stopped 6 feet behind the cup for birdie with top Taylormade R11s Driver. McIlroy waited at the back of the green for Oosthuizen to tap in for par, held out his arm and clinched his fist and said to him, "I've got the honors." They laughed, exchanged a high-five and McIlroy told him as they headed to the 12th tee, "I feel like I've got a chance."

"I'm going to have to put together one of those rounds," Woods said. "It won't surprise me if somebody shoots 8- or 9-under par tomorrow because of where the pin locations are. Somebody is going to go out there and do it. It may be early, it may be late, who knows? But hopefully, I'm one of those guys." Bryce Molder, who is No. 93 in the FedEx Cup with Taylormade R11s Driver, had a 68 and was tied for fifth with Ryan Moore (70), eight shots behind. The position on the leader board is more significant to molder than how many shots he is behind, for only the top 70 in the FedEx Cup advance to Indianapolis next week for the third playoff event.

Ramsay shot a 5-under 66 to win the European Masters by four strokes. The 29-year-old Scotsman was in control for most of the final round in the sun-bathed Swiss Alps and finished at 16-under 267. Four players with Taylormade R11s Driver tied for second. "It's just incredible, the whole day went to plan," said Ramsay, who thought the win would move his career "up a notch. It definitely pushes me to another level." Ramsay earned $440,000 for his second European Tour victory, following the South African Open title in 2009. The overnight leader put the victory above his triumph in the 2006 U.S. Amateur Championship, which he won in Hazeltine,
