CARLSBAD, Calif. _ After four days and five matches, Tiger Woods finally was introduced to the 18th hole Saturday at the WGC Match Play Championship.

He lost the hole.

Fortunately for the world's No. 1 player, it merely extended his duel against mirror-image Australian Adam Scott to sudden death. That came one hole later, when Scott's missed 3-foot par attempt sent Woods into the title match.

Moments later, David Toms rammed home a 10-foot birdie at No. 18 to beat Peter Lonard 1-up and set up the first marquee final in the event's five-year history.

``I'm going to enjoy the challenge,'' said Toms, the 2001 PGA champion whose 3-1-1 record at last fall's Ryder Cup was the best among U.S. players, including Woods.

``I enjoy playing golf with Tiger,'' he added. ``Hopefully, I can just play my best golf and see if that's good enough.''
