Tiger wins US PGA event in Ohio

Tiger Woods birdied three of the last four holes, including an amazing chip-in, to win the Memorial Tournament in Ohio on Sunday and match event host Jack Nicklaus for second on the US PGA all-time winning list.

Woods captured his 73rd career title with a five-under par 67 final round putting him on nine-under par 279 after 72 holes and securing a fifth Memorial crown after victories in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2009.

The 14-time major champion, who along with retired legend Nicklaus is nine back of Sam Snead’s all-time US PGA win record of 82, made a spectacular 48-foot chip-in for a birdie at the par-3 16th.

Nicklaus called it the greatest shot he had ever seen.
