Tournament host Tiger Woods saw off the defending champion Anthony Kim and held off a last-round charge from Hunter Mahan to win the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club at Bethseda, Maryland last night.
Woods collected his third victory of the year, having won Arnold Palmer's event at Bay Hill in March and Jack Nicklaus's Memorial last month, by winning his own tournament by one stroke from Mahan with a final-round three-under-par 67 for 13-under-par 267 over the par-70 track to collect the $1,080,000 first prize, not that money means anything to multi-millionaire Woods..
It was also his 68th US PGA Tour win and the 79th worldwide victory of his career.
Mahan had earlier shot an eight-under-par 62 that matched Kim's course-record round from Thursday and took the American to 12 under par 268, but Woods moved in front with a birdie at the 16th and held on to his lead down the final stretch.
Tiger's tournament stats:
Average drive: 312.4 yards.
Greens hit in regulation: 76.4 %
Putts per green (hit in regulation): 1.673 average.
It was Tiger's 68th win on the US PGA Tour.
Kim, who started the final day level with Woods, closed with a one-over-par closing round of 71 for 271 to finish in third place.
