Tiger Woods wins the Farmers Insurance Open

Tiger Woods won  by four shots on Monday to notch his eighth career victory at Torrey Pines.

 

 This week's event had been forced into a fifth day after thick fog wiped out all but ten minutes of play on Saturday and Tiger resumed with a six-shot lead over his nearest rivals with 11 holes of his final round to play.
With such a commanding cushion, anything other than a Woods victory always looked highly unlikely and so it proved with the chasing pack unable to put the world No 2 under any sort of pressure. However, Woods ultimately  limped to victory as he played his remaining holes in three-over, dropping four shots in the space of four holes on the back nine.
His main problem was with the driver as he produced some wildly wayward tee-shots, one hooked effort into a hazard on 15 costing him a double-bogey.

But at no stage did he look in danger of squandering his advantage, with defending champion Brandt Snedeker having posted a modest clubhouse target of 10-under.
Despite his troubles, Woods finished well clear on 14-under and has now moved to within seven wins of Sam Snead's all-time PGA Tour record of 82.
