Seventh US PGA Tour win in a row by Woods

TIGER CLICKETY-CLICKS IN

LAST ROUND TO WIN BUICK

INVITATIONAL BY TWO

Tiger Woods caught the overnight joint leaders over the final round of the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines Golf Club, San Diego in California.

Tiger shot a closing round of six-under-par 66 for a 15-under-par total of 273 to have two shots to spare at the finish from Charles Howell.

It is the third year in a row that Woods has won the "Buick" and is his seventh straight tournament win on the US Tour.

Only one man has ever done that before - the late Byron Nelson who went on to set the mark of 11 in a row in the 1940s. Nobody thought that figure would ever be even threatened ... until now.
