Tigers Woods won his 13th Major by two shots, with an 8-under par, 272. Watched by wife Elin and 2 month old daughter, Sam Alexis, Tiger picked up the PGA Championship for the second consecutive year, together with a check for $1.26m.

Woods Austin and Ernie Els, provided the nearest competition, with Big Ernie discovering some of his old form to finish with a creditable 5-under par, 275 - but in the end it was too little, too late.

Somewhat uncharacteristically, Tiger partially attributed his win to his superior fitness and conditioning. In so doing he took a little side-swipe at his fellow competitors, who he thought were perhaps not taking the sport, in all it’s aspects, as seriously as they should be.

Maybe he had a point - clearly much of the competition had wilted in stifling temperatures, including Padraig Harrington who was seen cowering from the sun under a white towel - shortly before he waived it in submission.

This latest major, triumph puts Tiger now just five behind the great Jack Nicklaus and remains on course for his date with destiny.
