More than five years after he last won, a week after having lost series and a day after blowing a seven-stroke lead at Colonial to go in the final round behind, the 44-year-old Toms shot a 3-under 67 Sunday to win at Hogan Alley.
"I am not dreaming, am I?". It is actually prepared, right? "TOMS was asked when he entered the interview room wearing plaid championship jacket. "Wow, I knew this day would never come back."
TOMS was recovering the lead for good of Charlie Wi with an eagle with a shot corner of 83 yards on the 11th hole by-5 and completed 15 sub - a coup in advance Wi.
"It is one of the most perfect shots that I never touched," said Toms.

He finished with a 69 for his fourth career finalist finish without a victory.
"It's great to finish second on the PGA Tour at any time, but it's a little bitter," said Wi. "I had a three-shot lead after the first two holes and think that I have had a fairly good handle on myself, in the control.". ... I certainly did it give him. He was certainly him won. ?
After this loss of playoffs at TPC Sawgrass, Toms had an opening 62 at Colonial for his best round score in 429 - since a 61 career-best during his victory in Hawaii.

TOMS finally caught up to 13 under after Wi missed the green with his approach to the tenth by-4 and two row of 13 feet for a bogey.
"The momentum I think started (change) on 10, because I was a blow ahead of him and I was in the middle of the channel" said Wi. "The killer was my poor player on 12".
The Toms tire entered the longest Colonial, the 635-yard 11th hole.
After laying up to a place perfect short green and the ball of the Wi sat in a front bunker, corner of Toms shot 83 yards bounced arrives once, just behind the PIN and then restored in Cup.
