Sweden's Per-Ulrik Johansson started the final round with a four shot lead, but a birdie at the first by his closest challenger Robert-Jan Derksen from Holland put the pressure on. Johansson, who had not won in 10 years showed no signs that he was going to fold and after 4 birdies of his own on the front 9 at the 2, 5, 7 and 9th his first victory in 10 years was all but secured. Derksen had no answer and after another birdie at the 11th by Johansson the victory was his. Johansson was able to par his way home from there to finish on 23 under-par 265 and a 6 shot win.

No one was going to catch Woods now and after he chipped in at the 12th for his 5th birdie of the day, Woods was able to coast home for his 6th victory in the event and the second time he had won 3 straight. Woods finished on 8 under-par 272 and an 8 shot victory from Sabbatini and England and Justin Rose.

Ochoa was now 8 under-par and well clear and it was now just a matter of how many. Three bogeys over the closing holes did not matter as Ochoa finished on 5 under-par 287, with Korean Jee Young Lee and Sweden's Maria Hjorth taking second spot 4 shots back.

D.A. Weibring had started the final round with a one shot lead and played very well to be 15 under-par by the time he got to the 16th tee. It was there that he found himself now 2 behind Jay Haas who had stormed through the field with a closing 9 under-par 63 to set the clubhouse lead at 17 under-par 199. Weibring was not done and he birdied the 16th and 17th to holes to tie Haas. Needing birdie to win, Weibring laid up on the reachable par 5 18th.

Carlsson started the final round with a 2 shot lead and after a back and forth fight over the first nine holes Lorenzo-Vera took a 2 shot lead after three consecutive birdies from the 10th. Carlsson though came right back and rolled in a 50 foot birdie putt at the 13th, as Lorenzo-Vera bogeyed the same hole. The pair were tied again, but not for long as Carlsson birdied the 14th to regain his lead. A bogey at the 16th but Lorenzo-Vera ended his chances and despite a bogey at the 18th Carlsson had finished on 10 under-par 278 to claim the winner's cheque.

Brad Elder claimed his first win since 1999 with a 4 shot victory over Argentinean Fabian Gomez. A bogey at the 13th looked to have ended Elder's chances, but an amazing finish over the next 5 holes secured the win for Elder. An eagle at the 14th was followed by a birdie at the 15th and Elder was back in the lead. After a par at the 16th Elder birdied the final 2 holes to finish on 19 under-par 265 and his third Nationwide Tour title.

Ireland's Des Smyth claimed a 2 shot victory over a late charging Bob Charles from Australia with a winning 6 under-par 210 total. Smyth played flawless golf during the final round and with no dropped shots and three birdies at the 3rd, 5th and 10th looked set for a very comfortable victory. Seventy-one year old Charles had other ideas and with birdies at the 15th, 16th and 17th made things interested, but it was not enough as Smyth was able to hang on for the win.
