World Golf Championship
The world golf championship help in Ohio this year announces the winner to be Tiger Woods.
The world’s number one, did not have an easy game though, it was his main competition Padraig Harrington who kept him on his toes throughout his time on the golf course. Harrington, who had led for the first three rounds had produced his best golf of the year with an opening-round 64 to lead in Ohio, led by a stroke with three holes to play before his round buckled.
It was on day three, Woods was three shots behind Harrington but gained ground after holding an eagle and five birdies. Both were warned for slow play (this could have resulted in a $5000, £2995 fine, as players must play within an allocated time while on the clock) with this in mind Harrington had a triple bogey and finished four shots adrift as he rushed his shot.
Woods, who birdied the 16th thanks to a superb eight iron over the water that stopped a foot from the hole, finished on 12 under to seal his seventh victory in the event. Woods became the first player in PGA TOUR history to win seven times on the same golf course. He also picked up 550 FedExCup points and extended his lead to 946 points. His victory will be short lived as he will be turning his concentration to the US PGA, which is due to begin on Thursday.
