Top seed Woods quickly established his dominance over fellow American Cink in the 36-hole final and never looked back as he posted a record crushing victory at Dove Mountain.

It is the largest winning margin in the final of the event, beating the previous record 6 and 5 victory by David Toms in the 2005 final.

It is Woods' third victory in this event and his 15th in 26 starts in the three tournaments that comprise the World Golf Championships.

He also posted his 63rd career victory on the PGA Tour, moving to fourth on the all-time list, behind Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan.

Woods has won seven of his past eight official starts worldwide stretching back to last August, his only defeat a second-placing in Boston last September.

He did not make a bogey until the 18th hole, where he plugged his second shot in a greenside bunker. But even that did not cost him anything, as Cink, usually the most reliable of putters, missed a seven-footer that would have given him the hole.

Earlier, he wasted little time asserting his authority, halving the par-5 first hole with a par, before winning the second with a birdie, rolling in a 20-foot putt. Two more quick birdies, followed by a Cink bogey at the par-3 eighth, left Woods 4-up at the turn.

As if that was not bad enough for Cink, he fell further behind with a bogey at the par-4 11th, before finally winning his first hole of the day with a birdie at the par-4 12th.

Cink also won the par-3 16th, sinking a 25-foot putt, and just for a minute it seemed that with momentum on his side, it perhaps would turn into a competitive match.
