Tiger still number one

NORTON, Massachusetts (AP):

Charley Hoffman made 11 birdies to close with a 9-under 62 and claim the Deutsche Bank Championship by five strokes yesterday. Hoffman ran off four straight birdies early to make up a four-shot deficit and he kept right on going on the TPC Boston to hold out Geoff Ogilvy, Jason Day and Luke Donald.

The question is whether it was enough to make him a last-minute pick for the Ryder Cup.

"Hopefully, I'm on the real short list," he said.

Tiger Woods had three rounds in the 60s for the first time this year. He closed with a 69 to share 11th and kept his No. 1 ranking in the world when Phil Mickelson imploded again.

Mickelson needed only to finish fourth to become No. 1 for the first time in his career. Instead, he opened the back nine with a triple bogey, made a double bogey on the 17th and shot 76 to finish 15 shots behind in a tie for 25th. A month ago, Mickelson had an equally good chance at Firestone and shot 78.
