Tiger Woods passed Jack Nicklaus on the all-time PGA Tour victory list as he won the AT&T National in Maryland.
The former world number one secured his 74th American Tour win by two shots from runner-up Bo Van Pelt after carding a final round of 69.
It means that Woods has won more PGA events than any golfer bar Sam Snead, who recorded 82 victories on the Tour.
The win was Woods’s third of the year, and followed his victory at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio last month.
Overnight leader Brendon De Jonge had a nightmare round of six over par to finish in a share of 11th on one under.
Woods, who began the day one shot back of the Zimbabwean, took advantage and went two under for an eight-under-par total.
And when Woods and fellow American Van Pelt both bogeyed the 16th, it was all square with two holes remaining.
But Van Pelt fell apart, dropping a further shot at each of the final two holes, allowing Woods to seal victory by two strokes with a pair of pars.
Van Pelt was level for his final round to finish second on six under, one clear of Australia’s Adam Scott.
