TIGER Woods shot a course-record 9-undr-par 62 in the third round of the BMW Championship at Cog Hill which helped him to an eight-shot victory over Jim Furyk and Marc Lieshman.

Woods came home with a final round 3-under 68 to pick up his first victory since his unprecedented loss at the PGA Championship.

"To play as well as I have of late and not get the Wins has been a little bit frustrating, no doubt, because I've been so close," said Woods. "It's just been a matter of making a couple of putts here and there, and I would have won the tournaments. And lo and behold, boom! I hit the ball just as well, just as consistent this week, and I made a few putts. And that's how it happens."

Woods now moves onto The Tour Championship at the top of the FedExCup points list ahead of Steve Stricker.
