In the final event ahead of the USPGA Championship at Southern Hills this week, world number one Tiger Woods stamped his authority on the game by marching to an eight-shot victory. The world number one started the day a shot behind leader Rory Sabbatini but finished out of sight, leaving a world-class field spluttering in his wake.

?That was fun out there,? said a smiling Tiger afterwards. He started the final round with three birdies in four holes and didn?t drop a shot all day, despite the tough conditions. Woods was the only person in the field to finish under par and in doing so he claimed his second hatrick of WGC victories.
