Tiger Woods claimed his third PGA Tour title of 2007 on Sunday, after winning the Wachovia Championships by two shots.

The world number one started the day one shot behind third round leader Rory Sabbatini, but a 57-foot eagle putt on the seventh kick started his final round.

Woods went on to shoot a final round 69 to reach -13, enough to beat Steve Stricker by two shots and take the title.

Phil Mickelson and Sabbatini finished tied for third on -9, while German veteran Bernhard Langer finished as the highest-placed European on -5 (tied for tenth).
The 12-time Major winner admitted: "The back nine I struggled a little bit. My goal coming in was to try to get the lead through 15.
"This week I didn't really have my best stuff, but it was good enough.
"However, I made a lot of putts this week, some crucial par putts from six to eight feet, which you have to make."
