Woods coasts to sixth win of year


By DOUG FERGUSON

LEMONT, Ill. — Tiger Woods has won the BMW Championship for his sixth victory of the year, assuring himself the No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup.

One day after record-breaking 62 at Cog Hill to build a seven-shot lead, Woods played efficiently and didn’t let anyone get closer than six shots Sunday. He closed with a 3-under 68 for an eight-shot victory over Jim Furyk and Marc Leishman.
Woods won for the fifth time at Cog Hill, and it was his 10th time on the PGA Tour winning by at least eight shots.
The outcome was never in doubt at the top of the leaderboard. Instead, there was a scramble behind Woods to finish in the top 30 to reach the Tour Championship.
