Notes from the Arnold Palmer Invitational's Final Round

Well, the sun is setting once again at Bay Hill, and here some nuggets from the Arnold Palmer Invitational's final round. Thanks to PGA Tour officials and the tournament's media relations staff for making these tidbits available.

* Tiger Woods' win at 10-under ties as the third-highest winning score this season relative to par on the PGA Tour this year. Sean O'Hair won the PODS Championship at 4 under. Ernie Els won the Honda Classic at 6 under. And Steve Lowery won at

Pebble

Beach

at 10 under.

* Woods and Niclas Fasth had Sunday's low rounds, 4-under 66s.

* In his five victories at Bay Hill, Woods has played the 16th, 17th and 18th holes in the final round at 5-under. He's never made anything worse than par.

* Marc Turnesa recorded his first hole-in-one on the PGA Tour on Sunday. His ace on the 180-yard seventh hole came via a 5-iron.

* Woods improved his record to 43-3 when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead. He's now 9-2 when tied for the 54-hole lead.
