Tiger Woods Wins 75th PGA Tour Title At Torrey Pines (PICTURES)

Is Woods Back To His Best?

Tiger Woods wrapped up his 75th PGA Tour title despite a few nervy moments towards the end of his round in the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines.

Woods came into the fifth day of play with a six-shot lead over nearest challengers Brandt Snedeker and Nick Watney and with just 11 holes to play, it would have taken an unlikely sequence of events to deprive the world number two.

He was far from his fluent best and even though he dropped four stokes in three holes from the 15th, it did not threaten to derail his charge to victory and he finished on 14 under par overall - four strokes clear of last year's winner Snedeker.

"It got a little ugly towards the end," admitted Woods in a short interview shown on Sky Sports 2.

"I just lost my concentration a little bit."

Woods celebrates his 75th title

Play was brought into a fifth day due to severe fog wiping out all but five minutes of action on Saturday and realistically Woods just needed to keep his composure to land his first PGA Tour victory of the season.

He began his round yesterday and three birdies in his first seven holes strengthened his challenge before darkness fell.

The 37-year-old parred his first five holes today with the minimum of fuss before birdieing the 13th after two-putting from 52 feet.

But he dropped back immediately afterwards when he found a greenside bunker with his lay-up and then double bogeyed the par-four 15th after being forced to take a penalty drop.

Woods dropped another shot on the 17th and missed a 15ft birdie putt on the last - but it mattered little, his level-par 72 enough for victory.
