David Toms 2001 Compaq Classic of New Orleans

Home sweet home
As David Toms walked up the 18th green Sunday, chants of "LSU! LSU!" echoed around the course. One birdie putt later, the roar was deafening and Toms, a Louisiana native and former LSU Tiger, capped a round of 8-under 64 and had won his fifth career title. Toms started the day at 14 under in a tie for fourth. He birdied the first hole then finished the front nine at 2 under, offsetting a bogey on No. 5 with two more birdies. On the back nine, Toms birdied 10, 16 and 18 and eagled 11.
