Woods hits 61 to seal easy victory

Tiger Woods continued his dominance at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf at the Poipu Bay club, winning the event for the fifth successive time with a tournament-record 11-under-par 61.

Woods finished at a record 17 under par 127 to win by 14 strokes from Justin Leonard and Davis Love III. Yesterday's round of 61 broke the tournament and course record and tied Woods' personal best for an 18-hole tournament round.

Love shot 69 for 141, while Leonard tied for second with a 72 in the 36-hole event for this year's major champions. The USPGA champion, Rich Beem, finished last at one-over-par 145 after a 73.

With Woods winning two majors and the Open champion, Ernie Els, withdrawing from the event, Love and Leonard gained invitations based on their finishes in those majors.

In muggy conditions with light drizzle, Woods made it easy for himself by getting off to a fast start for the second day in a row and shooting another bogey-free round. He birdied six of the first eight holes, reaching the turn in 30, with an eight-stroke lead over Leonard. He pulled away on the back nine with birdies at the 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th and 18th.
