“I can tell you right now—if I wouldn’t have met
[Sieckmann], I wouldn’t have won this golf tournament,” said Hoffman. “I could barely get it out of the bunkers before. It was pretty shocking. He’s helped tremendously with my short game and my bunker game, and I appreciate all the help he’s given me and all the knowledge he has.” Hoffman’s bunker shot on No. 13 was huge and his
sand shot on 14 was almost as big. With his playing partner, Geoff Ogilvy, in position to make a birdie, Hoffman exploded to within 5 feet and made the putt to save par. When Ogilvy missed the putt from 7 feet, Hoffman could breathe a little easier. “I had the best seat in the house to watch that,” said
Ogilvy. “He hit great shots all day, and as soon as he got himself in trouble, he’d go and hole a bunker shot or something like that.” When Hoffman, who began the final round four strokes
off the lead held by Jason Day, ran off four straight birdies early in his round, Ogilvy thought he could be playing with the eventual winner. “You can tell when you look at a guy and it just looks
like his day,” said Ogilvy. “I think everyone is going to be pretty happy because he’s a pretty popular guy out here.” The 22-year old Day was disappointed to not pick up
his second win, but the Australian was philosophical about his performance. “You can only go out there and try your hardest and
give it 100 percent, and at the end of the day if you’re walking back with a trophy, then that’s great. But if someone comes and shoots a score like that, you really can’t do anything about it.” ■
“I DIDN’T HAVE ANY CLUE HOW MANY BIRDIES I MADE, I WAS
JUST TRYING TO KEEP MAKING BIRDIES.”
– Charley Hoffman
• Charley Hoffman matched the second-lowest 18-hole score in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup history, with a final-round 62. Mike Weir shot the lowest score—a 61—at the 2008 Deutsche Bank Championship.
• Tiger Woods closed with three rounds in the 60s at TPC Boston. It was the first time he shot three straight rounds in the 60s since the opening three rounds at the 2009 TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola.
Charity Link
• The Tiger Woods Foundation is the tournament’s main charitable recipient. The Tiger Woods Learning Center—a 14-acre, 35,000-square-foot center in Southern California—provides fifth to twelfth-graders with programs in reading, math, science and technology, as youth develop personal accountability, independence and resilience, leading to greater knowledge of career options and an increase in college enrollment.
• The PGA TOUR Wives Association assisted in creating 1,000 “Healthy Packs” for school children in support of the Greater Boston Food Bank. This was part of the TOUR’s Golf Fore Groceries program.
Most Victories: Vijay Singh (2)

Course Insight: TPC Boston
TPC Boston was originally designed by Arnold Palmer and his design group. Prior to the 2007 Deutsche Bank Championship, Rhode Island native and resident Brad Faxon and eight-time winner on the PGA TOUR architect Gil Hanse were brought in to renovate the course.
Among other widely praised changes, Faxon and Hanse added new bunkers, “chocolate drop” mounds and several grass bunkers, re-graded fairways and re-worked several greens. The changes were a tip of the cap to New England’s more venerable designs.
“We’ve tried to get the players to think about shots and have them spend a little time trying to figure out the golf course,” said Hanse. “I believe that what we’ve done is made the golf course feel like it belongs in New England.”
