Co-overnight leader Furyk, the 2003 US Open winner, carded 69 for 14 under as Woods fell short despite a 66.

American Ben Curtis, the 2003 Open champion, slipped back from a share of the lead to finish third on nine under after a 74.

Woods' second straight runner-up finish ensured he became the first player to pass $50m (�27m) in career earnings.

The victory was Furyk's first since the 2003 Buick Open after he missed half of last year with a wrist injury.

"I knew I had to stay aggressive and keep trying to make birdies. Just keep plugging away," said Furyk.

"To go out and bogey two and three was disappointing but I had the lead at the turn and that's where I wanted to be."

I'm putting together some nice finishes. I just have to go one better Tiger Woods

Furyk has finished second three times this season, including to Padraig Harrington at the Barclays Classic last weekend.

He was three strokes ahead of the Irishman with five holes to go, but he made back-to-back bogeys on 16 and 17. Harrington then holed a 65-foot putt on 18 for an eagle and a one-stroke win.

Woods added: "Jimmy's one of the toughest guys out there. Last week was an aberration."

Furyk began poorly, dropping shots at the second and third and quickly found himself four strokes behind Curtis, who birdied two and three.

But Curtis bogeyed the fourth, sixth and eighth before a double bogey on 12 ended his hopes.

Furyk, meanwhile, grabbed a stroke back on the fourth and climbed back into a tie at 12 under with a birdie on the par-three sixth.

Woods began the day five shots adrift but surged into a share of the lead with Furyk at 13 under with birdie-birdie-eagle on the ninth, 10th and 11th.

But Furyk made birdie putts of 15, 17 and 11 feet to get to 15 under, and though he dropped a shot at the 17th, Woods had faltered with bogeys on 13 and 14.

"I lost my momentum on those two holes," said Woods, in his only tune-up ahead of the Open at St Andrews which starts on 14 July.

"I was hoping to get to seven-under and force a play-off. I was close.

"I was third at the Memorial and second at the US Open so I'm putting together some nice finishes. I just have to go one better."

Curtis, who has missed 12 cuts in 14 events this year, claimed only his second top 10 since he triumphed at Royal St George's in 2003.

Sweden's Fredrik Jacobson was the highest-placed European on five under, while Vijay Singh was four under and England's Luke Donald finished one under.
