He and Baird, who also was seeking his first career victory, finished regulation at 17-under-par 267.

Molder had finished in the Top 10 on 17 occasions without a win on the PGA Tour.

Tiger Woods, meanwhile, finished out of contention in his first tournament in two months. He ended in a tie for 30th at 7-under 277 after registering a third straight 68.

The match was marred when a fan threw a hot dog in the golfer's direction, although it didn't hit him. The spectator was arrested.
