About The Sony Open

The 2006 winner of the championship is David Toms, an American golf player, born in Monroe, Louisiana, on January 4, 1967. David Toms has been now for a while in the top 10 of the Official World Golf Rankings. He started with the victory in the 15-17 Boys competition at the 1984 Junior World Golf Championship. Later he studied at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.

In 1992, Toms joined the PGA Tour. He got a victory in 1 major championship, the 2001 PGA Championship, as well as in 12 other competitions on the PGA Tour. In 1997, David got a victory at the Quad City Classic competition, in 1999 at the Sprint International and the Buick Challenge championships. In 2000, he was lucky to win at the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill. The year 2001 was marked by the wins at the Compaq Classic of New Orleans, the major win at the PGA Championship, as well as the Michelob Championship at Kingsmill. He also was the winner of the Wachovia Championship and the FedEx St., the Jude Classic in 2003, the FedEx St. Jude Classic in 2004, as well as the WGC-Accenture World Matchplay Championship in 2005. Toms winning record of 265 in the 2001 PGA Championship is considered the lowest absolute 72-hole score, which has ever been documented during a major championship.

During the Memorial Tournament in 2005, Toms missed one putt. Having seen this, a spectator shouted out the phrase Good Job Freddy, which referred to Fred Couples and to how missing of that putt had helped Couples. After this David made a gesture as if he was scratching his cheek, which was actually showing the man, who had shouted out, a middle finger. Although the cameras were able to catch the episode, Toms later denied the fact. Surprisingly, Tom was not given a fine, although he had to get one.
