There’s no stopping this guy called Tiger Woods and on Sunday at the final round of the Buick Invitational at San Diego he announced his arrival on the 2007 PGA winning by two strokes after being seven adrift of the lead at the half way mark. In the final round he was two strokes off the lead but a solid start with three birdies and an eagle on the ninth hole put him in contention for the title that he had previously won in 2005 and 2006. this takes Woods’ tally of consecutive wins on the tour to seven moving him into second place behind Byron Nelson for the most consecutive wins on the PGA Tour, Bryon has 11 to his name. Charles Howell III finished 13 under to take the runners-up spot while over night leader Brandt Snedeker finished another stroke behind him.
Apart from being his third consecutive Buick win this is Woods’ fifth title at the championships so far. He was pretty much his familiar modest self admitting that when the day began all of the leading competitors had a chance but he did well enough to hang in there and fire a final round 6 under 66 to the pole position. As mentioned above this is Woods’ seventh straight win on the tour though he has had a few disappointments in the form of Ryder Cup and World Match Play Championships interrupting his winning streak. Nevertheless this should be a warning enough to his rivals that it could be another Tiger chase for them on the tour.
