Forget Mike, I Wanna Be Like Tiger


Akron, Ohio: Tiger Woods won the WGC Bridgstone Invitational on Sunday over Paddy Harrington and the rest of the PGA field that he left in the dust during yesterday's round.

This time his signature shot was an 8-iron from 180 yards away on the par-5 16th hole, which he proceeded to put within a foot of the hole for a tap-in birdie. Harrington made triple bogey on the same hole allowing Woods to cruise home on the final two holes at Firestone Country Club.

Tiger finished the final round with a 65 as he became the first player in PGA Tour history to win seven times on the same course.

The win was also his fifth this year and career PGA Tour victory number 70 for Tiger putting him in third all-time behind only Jack Nicklaus (73) and Sam Snead (82).

The win also marked back-to-back wins for Woods going into the PGA Championship at Hazeltine beginning on Thursday, which will be the last chance for Tiger to win a major championship this year.

Tiger and Padraig Harrington will also be paired together in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship on Thursday, which will no doubt be exciting for the fans to see two of the best in the world going head to head in one of the biggest tournaments of the year. Can't wait.
