Woods wins BMW Championship
Tiger Woods matched the course record at Cog Hill to win for the 60th time on the PGA Tour and moved to the top of the FedEx standings. On the European Tour Brett Rumford chipped in to win the European Masters.
Tiger Woods continued to break records with a 63 that equalled the course best and delivered his 60th win on the PGA Tour.
The world number one shot a flawless round to win the BMW Championship by two shots from Australian Aaron Baddeley. In-form American, Steve Stricker, finished third, moving him into second place in the FedEx standings with only one event remaining.
Woods began the day one shot behind Baddeley and Stricker but his flawless round gave him a comfortable victory.
?I?ve hit the ball well all week and it was great to hole some putts today, I?ve always liked playing Cog Hill, the golf course really suits my eye,? said Woods.
Justin Rose was paired with Tiger in the final round and finished strongly with a 68 that saw him tied for fifth. He secured his place in the Tour Championship but Luke Donald just missed out as he lies 31st on the FedEx cup standings, one place behind Padraig Harrington, who took the final spot.
Only five players can now win the FedEx Cup and secure the $10 million prize: Woods, Stricker, Phil Mickelson, Rory Sabbatini and K.J. Choi. If Mickelson wins the Tour Championship next week and Tiger finishes second Tiger will win the FedEx Cup by 20 points.
