The American's victory at Cog Hill was the 71st of his illustrious career and came as no surprise after his sublime course-record 62 in his third round.

Coming into the day with a near unassailable seven-shot lead, Woods won by eight strokes to close in on the legendary Jack Nicklaus.

The win - Woods' sixth this season - came courtesy of a round of 68 today to finish 19-under-par overall, eight clear of compatriot Jim Furyk and Australian Marc Leishman.

Furyk's five-under round of 66 saw him make a late charge up the leaderboard though there was never any real chance of him overhauling Woods.

Leishman was two under on 69 today with two birdies and no bogeys.

Padraig Harrington had been in and around all weekend but finished tied for sixth on six under with fellow European Sergio Garcia, of Spain, after a difficult round of 73. Garcia closed with a level-par 71.

England's Luke Donald was among four tied for 10th place after a 73 while countryman Ian Poulter shared 20th after a poor 75.

Woods said: "It was a good week. I hit the ball well, but basically felt like I hit it the same as I have been.

"The only difference is I made a few more putts this week and got some momentum. As we all know, you have to make putts to win championships. This week I certainly made my share."
