Tiger Woods won the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational for the seventh time in his career last night and promised to "celebrate quickly" before beginning his bid for a fifth US PGA Championship later this week.

Woods will today embark on preparations for a third victory in as many weeks having won the Buick Open in Michigan on August 2 and followed up with a four-stroke win over Padraig Harrington and Robert Allenby at Firestone Country Club.

His win in Ohio took the world number one's victories worldwide to 90, his PGA Tour wins to 70 and was his fifth of the year following other successes at the Bay Hill Invitational, the Memorial and the AT&T Classic.

Now, though, Woods is focusing on the task ahead at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota, collecting win number 91 and a 15th major victory of his career.

"It's going to be a quick turnaround ," Woods said. "I'll be out there tomorrow. I'll celebrate quickly."

Such is Woods' well-honed routine for preparing for a major that he said the dramas of his final round locked in battle at Firestone with Harrington would not unduly affect him.

"I would say no because I'm going to do my normal routine," he said.

"I'm going to play Monday and Tuesday and then do nothing on Wednesday, just practice, that's it.
"Wednesday will be my rest day.

"Get to know the golf course a little bit on Monday and Tuesday and then shut it down Wednesday."

Woods' victories in the past two weeks came in the wake of him missing the cut at last month's Open Championship at Turnberry, which was just the fifth MC of his 13-year professional career.

Woods said he just put that down to a bad stretch of holes and his success to some good stretches.

"I just felt that I had six bad holes, and that six bad holes took me out of the championship, and I only missed the cut by a shot," Woods said of his premature exit at Turnberry.

"It wasn't, I don't think, as bad as everyone thought it would have been.

"I kept hearing it was just devastating for me to miss the cut, miss the cut by a shot.

"I said, 'guys, I just had one bad stretch'.

"And you have those bad stretches, and unfortunately it cost me an opportunity. You've just got to not have those bad stretches, just clean it up a little bit.

"I was able to do it the last couple weeks, and instead of having a bad stretch, I had positive ones."
