Woods wins 8th World Golf Championship title

Tiger Woods won the American Express World championship in Atlanta tonight – his eighth World Golf Championship title in 15 starts.

The world No 1 and defending champion bogeyed the last two holes and shot a closing two-over-par 72, but that was still good enough for a two-shot victory over Australian Stuart Appleby, American Tim Herron and Fiji's Vijay Singh.

The win, his fifth of the year, takes Woods back to the top of the US Tour money list. He finished with a six-under-par total of 274.
