Tiger Woods Tiger Woods won the storm-hit AT&T National on Sunday for his 74th career title to pass Jack Nicklaus for second place all-time on the PGA Tour list. Woods won for the third time this year by outlasting fellow American Bo Van Pelt in a back-nine duel that went down to the final hole.
"What an incredible week," Woods said.
Woods closed with a two-under 69, giving him a two-shot victory and moving him into second place on the tour's career list, one ahead of Nicklaus.
He needs eight more to equal Sam Snead.
Woods, who finished at eight-under 276, took the lead on 17 where Van Pelt made bogey after his ball sailed over the green.
All Woods had to do was maintain the lead on the final hole.
He sealed the victory with a superb nine-iron approach that landed and rolled onto the flat part of the green on 18.
"It was downhill, the wind was hot and the ball was flying," said Woods, who also won at Muirfield Village and Bay Hill this year.
"It fit my eye for some reason. I just saw it and hit it."
Australia's Adam Scott finished in third place at five-under-par 279. He matched the low round of the day with a four-under par 67.
Woods' win capped a bizarre week of golf at the Congressional Country Club course.
A violent heat-fuelled storm wreaked havoc on the course, blowing down trees and forcing organisers to shut the course to spectators on Saturday, making for a peculiar scene as the golfers teed off without galleries.
"Yesterday was a silent day but I think everyone saved it up for today," Woods said of the spectators who were allowed back on the course on Sunday.
The clean-up operation was extensive and the players still had to navigate some small piles of debris, just off some of the fairways, that didn't get cleared in time for Sunday's final round.
"The staff, the maintenance crew and everybody. Yesterday was a very difficult situation. They worked their tails off to get it done," Woods said.
"Everybody, thank you for being patient with us."
Van Pelt, who closed with an even-par 71, made it easy for him by finishing with three consecutive bogeys, beginning with No.16.
"All in all, I'm proud of how I played. You have to give it to Tiger, he played well," said Van Pelt.
"It was fun to be in that environment the last 36 holes."
Woods moved to the top of the PGA Tour money list and the FedEx Cup standings for the first time since 2009.
Robert Garrigus (70), Jhonattan Vegas (71), Billy Hurley (72) and Noh Seung-yul (73) tied for fourth place at minus-four.
Third-round leader Brendon de Jonge, of Zimbabwe, stumbled to a six-over 77 and tied for 11th at one-under-par 283.
