Jim Furyk stormed back from a five-shot deficit to fire a superb seven-under-par 65 for a two-stroke victory at The Memorial in Dublin, Ohio.

The win ended Tiger Woods' three-year stranglehold at the 4.5million US dollar tournament.

Furyk's final round was filled with fantastic shots, many from off the green on the back nine, as he charged past a star-studded leaderboard.

Among his best were a pitch from the fringe for a birdie at the 12th and a blast out of a bunker for an eagle on the 15th.

Vijay Singh, the 1997 winner, David Peoples and John Cook could not catch Furyk's 14-under-par total of 274 - the lowest winning total here in five years.

Cook and Peoples finished two shots behind Furyk with Harrison Frazar, Singh, overnight leader Bob Tway, David Duval and Shigeki Maruyama a further stroke behind.

Woods had his best round of the tournament - a six-under 66 - but still finished eight shots off the pace.

Tournament host Jack Nicklaus fell away badly after a 79 to finish with a total of 295 - seven over par.
