Tiger Woods wins AT&T to pass Jack Nicklaus record


Tiger WoodsTiger Woods passed Jack Nicklaus on the all-time PGA Tour victory list as he won the AT&T National in Maryland.
The former world number one secured his 74th United States Tour win by two shots from Bo Van Pelt after a final round of 69 left him eight under.
It means Woods has won more PGA events than any golfer bar Sam Snead, who recorded 82 victories on the Tour.
"To do it at 36, I feel like I have a lot of years ahead of me," Woods said after his third win of the year.
"I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again. That was, I think, six months ago and here we are."
Overnight leader Brendon de Jonge had a nightmare round of six over par to finish in a share of 11th on one under.
And it was Woods, who began the day one shot behind, who took advantage of the Zimbabwean's collapse, although when he and fellow American Van Pelt both bogeyed the 16th, it was all square with two holes remaining.
But Van Pelt dropped a further shot at each of the final two holes, allowing Woods, who followed up his win at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio last month, to seal victory by two strokes with a pair of pars.
Van Pelt was level for his final round to finish second on six under, one clear of Australia's Adam Scott.
