Woods triumphant

TULSA – Tiger Woods had proven in the past to be unbeatable when he starts the last day at the head of the pack and Sunday’s final round of the PGA Championship was no different.

The defending champion survived a scare on the back nine from American Woody Austin and South African Ernie Els, firing a one-under-par 69 to capture his first major of 2007 and his 13th career major championship. “These guys made a run at me but I got it done somehow down the stretch,” Woods said.”I kept yelling at myself to give myself more looks (at birdies) because I knew with the way I was putting I was going to make it.”This was the fifth major championship victory in the past 12 tries for Woods, who is 13-of-13 when he begins the final round with a lead.Els, Austin and playing partner Stephen Ames all gave it a go but world number one Woods is a tough nut to crack when he has a 54-hole lead.Woods, who was in danger of going 0-for-4 in major championships for the first time since 2004, said winning at Southern Hills Country Club makes his year special.Nampa-Reuters”These guys made a run at me but I got it done somehow down the stretch,” Woods said.”I kept yelling at myself to give myself more looks (at birdies) because I knew with the way I was putting I was going to make it.”This was the fifth major championship victory in the past 12 tries for Woods, who is 13-of-13 when he begins the final round with a lead.Els, Austin and playing partner Stephen Ames all gave it a go but world number one Woods is a tough nut to crack when he has a 54-hole lead.Woods, who was in danger of going 0-for-4 in major championships for the first time since 2004, said winning at Southern Hills Country Club makes his year special.Nampa-Reuters
