Woods goes for seventh straight win

DORAL, Fla., March 19 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods, who is riding one of golf's most amazing runs ever, will try to keep it going Thursday at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship in Florida.

Woods is one of 78 players who will compete at Doral Country Club's Blue Monster course.

The world's No. 1 player has won six straight times around the globe -- his most recent triumph coming last Sunday when he holed a 24-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a one-shot decision at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

Woods has won at Doral each of the last three years -- twice in a regular PGA Tour event and again last year when this WGC tournament was held at the course.

He will begin play Thursday at 12:25 p.m. EDT in the company of Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa and Paul Casey of England.

Phil Mickelson, second to Woods in the world rankings and also second to him in this year's FedEx Cup points race, will tee off at 11:15 a.m. in a threesome that includes Craig Parry and Camilo Villegas.
