Stricker birdies last two holes to win

Deutsche Bank Championship

Steve Stricker birdied the last two holes to win the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston, Massachusetts and move to No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings with two tournaments remaining.
In a wild Monday finish - it's Labour Day in America - a half-dozen players had a chance to win on the par-5 18th hole.
Stricker grabbed his chance with a chip from behind the green that settled 2 feet away for a tap-in birdie for a 4-under 67.
That avoided a play-off with Jason Dufner (65) and Scott Verplank, who birdied his last four holes for a 67.
Stricker won for the third time this year and moves up to No. 2 in the world ranking for the first time in his career. He moved past Tiger Woods in the FedEx Cup, assuring that he will have a chance at the $10 million prize at the end of the month.
Padraig Harrington, whose worst score was his fourth-round 68, tied for fourth place on 269, two shots behind Stricker.
Tiger Woods finished with a brilliant round of 63, which pulled him up to within five shots of the winner. Woods' total of 12 under par 272 gave him a share of 11th place.
