Tiger Woods Wins WGC Match Play
Tiger Woods won his sixth consecutive tournament worldwide and 63 on tour on Sunday, as he managed to race down Stewart Cink 8 and 7 in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Tucson, Arizona.

Woods is now the fourth player on the all- time PGA Tour win list, going past Arnold Palmer and trailing Ben Hogan by only one.

"Just to be in the same breath as Arnold Palmer and Ben Hogan, obviously you've had a pretty good career," Woods said.

After the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship Woods remains in the trail of only Hogan, Sam Snead (82) and Jack Nicklaus (73) on the career win list.

However, at this point, Tiger Woods is the best player in the world, as he ran up a four-shot lead on Cink in the morning's 18-hole round and coasted to the easy win by doubling his advantage in the afternoon. He was on the lead almost all day, as he only made one bogey on the first 18 on The Gallery Golf Club course at Dove Mountain.

"Match play is very fickle," Woods said at wining the third tournament of the season. "This week I had to make a bunch of putts to advance. Anything can happen. You have the best players in the world assembled here. I had to go out and earn it. These guys don't give leads away."

The player also won the tournament in both 2003 and 2005 and now he collected 1.350.000 dollars, while Henrik Stenson defeated Justin Leonard 3 and 2 in the tournament's consolation match.
