Woods has the last laugh

POIPU BEACH (USA): Tiger Woods rallied to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf for a record seventh time, closing with a bogey-free 6-under 66 on Wednesday to beat Jim Furyk by two strokes.

Woods, the British Open and PGA champion, started the day three strokes behind Furyk and finished the 36-hole tournament with an 8-under 136 total to earn $500,000.

Furyk, the world's No. 2 golfer behind Woods, closed with a 71 to take home $300,000. U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy shot a 74 to finish six strokes behind at 142. Mike Weir had a 74 for a total of 145 and made $200,000.

Woods has owned Poipu, also winning in 1998, '99, '00, '01, '02 and '05. He finished second to Ernie Els in '97 in his only other appearance in the event.

Last year, Woods closed with a 64 to win by seven strokes over Phil Mickelson, despite losing six pounds because of a stomach virus. — AP
