2005: Tiger Woods
John Daly was just a three-foot putt away from forcing a third extra hole at the 2005 WGC-American Express Championship, but he badly pulled the par putt and settled for bogey.

2003: Tiger Woods
Leading by three strokes on the 70th hole of the 2003 WGC-American Express Championship, Tiger Woods found his ball mired in thick grass. In order to play it, Woods had to stand in a nearby bunker. What could have been a disaster turned into just a routine shot, as Woods chipped to 10 feet away and then made his par putt. Plays like that helped him hold on for the win despite shooting a 2-over 72 in the final round. He finished at 6 under, two strokes ahead of Stuart Appleby, Tim Herron and Vijay Singh.

Mike Weir earned the victory, shooting a 3-under 69 in the final round and finishing at 11 under for a two-stroke victory over Lee Westwood.
