David Toms cruised to victory at the Accenture Match Play Championship defeating Chris DiMarco 6 and 5. The win was the largest margin of victory in the history of the event's 36-hole final at La Costa Resort.
Toms, who was a member of the 1984 AJGA All-American Team that included future PGA Tour players Bob Estes, Brian Watts, Billy Mayfair and Bob May, earned $1.3 million for claiming the title.
Toms improved his record to 18-5 in Accenture Match Play Championship and he earned the 11th victory of his PGA Tour career.
Rosales Starts Season with a Win

Rosales finished the event at 8-under-par, despite shooting a 1-over-par 73 in the final round. Her first-round 66 and second-round 69 were enough to put her in front and earn her the title.
Fellow AJGA alum Cristie Kerr finished two strokes back, tied for second place.
