AKRON, Ohio (Reuters) - Tiger Woods won a record seventh WGC-Bridgestone Invitational title on Sunday, overhauling Padraig Harrington with a sizzling burst of scoring before benefiting from a late collapse by the Irishman.
The American world number one fired a five-under-par 65 on a breezy, humid day at Firestone Country Club to clinch his 70th PGA Tour victory, and fifth of the year, by four strokes.
Trailing playing partner Harrington by three overnight, Woods took control by covering the front nine in a spectacular five-under 30 on the way to a 12-under total of 268.
The Irishman regained a one-shot cushion with three holes remaining before his title bid unraveled with a triple-bogey at the par-five 16th after the duo had been put on the clock for slow play.
