Tiger Woods has cruised to an eight shot victory at the BMW championship held recently in Chicago. This is Tiger’s sixth win of the season and the 71st of his career. The victory puts him only 2 short of Jack Nicklaus, who leads the PGA Tour’s all-time career victory list with 73 wins.
Earlier on Saturday, Tiger had set a new course record 9-under 62 in the $7.5 million tournament. Woods started the day with a 7 shot lead. Courtesy of a round of 68, he finished with 19 under-par overall, taking him 8 clear of compatriot Jim Furyk and Australian Marc Leishman. There was a late charge from Furyk, but he never got close enough to threatening Tiger’s lead. Furyk ended the day with a 5 under-par. The other challenger Leishman finished with 2 under-par, courtesy of 2 birdies and 2 boggies. Padraig Harrington ended up tied sixth with Sergio Garcia of Spain.
This is Tiger’s fifth victory at Cog Hill, putting him back on top of the US PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup ranking. Courtesy of this win, Tiger’s lead at the top of the world rankings is now at a 12-month high.
