Tiger Captures Tour Championship & FedEx Cup


ATLANTA (Ticker) - Tiger Woods shot the lowest score of his illustrious career when he blew away the field to win the Tour Championship by eight strokes on Sunday. Woods led throughout the final round, carding A 4-under-par 66 in pleasant conditions at East Lake in the final event of the new FedEx Cup playoff series.

He finished at 23-under 257, two strokes better than his previous best total of 21-under 259 at the 2000 NEC Invitational. Woods also smashed the Tour Championship record low score, at the same time securing his fourth victory in his past five starts and emphatically clinching the FedEx Cup title.

The win is his 61st victory on the PGA Tour, moving him just one behind Arnold Palmer for fourth on the all-time list. "It's been just a phenomenal week," Woods said. "I really played well today, hit a bunch of good shots. I got on a good birdie run in the middle of the round and put it away. "It's interesting how people questioned whether I should try and improve my game or not, and here we are. My driving has gotten better. I feel I'm able to work the ball better both ways and land the ball the number I want to land it on."
