Woods Wins 13th MajorTiger Woods collected his first major of the year and 13th overall Sunday when he won the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.
Biracial, multicultural, it doesn't matter. We're claiming Elgin as ours folks!
Woods shot a final-round, one-under 69 to finish the tournament at eight- under-par 272, which was good for a two-stroke victory over Woody Austin.
"I got it done somehow down the stretch," said Woods, who pocketed $1.26 million for the win. "I felt great all week. Other guys may have gotten tired, I feel fine."
Looks like he settling in with that newborn in the house. Or maybe he's been away getting some much needed rest.Austin fired a three-under 67 to finish alone in second place at minus-six. Ernie Els also applied some pressure on Sunday. He posted a four-under 66 to take third.
The win was Woods' fourth PGA Championship and he has now successfully defended this title twice. He hoisted a trophy for the fifth time this season on tour and pushed his career win total to 59.
The single greatest thing that has ever happened to golf, Tiger is now five behind Jack Nicklaus' record for professional majors and is a perfect 13-0 in majors when he has at least a share of the third-round lead.
