TIGER WINS ! HARRINGTON IS BACK !

Is there no stopping Tiger Woods? The man is a genius.After a slow start in the BRIDGESTONE INVITATIONAL at FIRESTONE COUNTRY CLUB in AKRON,OHIO Woods produced two rounds of 65 to win his 7th BRIDGESTONE title after a great tussle with Padraig Harrington.
Starting 3 behind Harrington,Woods got a fast start with a 20 foot eagle putt at the 2nd,followed by birdies at the 4th & 5th to take a one shot lead.A further birdie at the 9th left him to the turn in 30 shots and a 2 shot lead,from Harrington who made 9 pars in a row.
Harrington who has had a terrible year while he made some swing changes,proved he is back with his first birdie at the 11th to close the gap to one.He went back in front after Tiger dropped shots at the 13th & 14th.
The bubble burst for Harrington at the 16th.After watching Tiger hit an 8 iron to a foot for a definite birdie,Padraig third flew through the green.The large crowd went quiet as his 4th shot from a downhill lie flew out quickly and into the water.An 80 yard shot back finished through the green and a chip and putt gave him an 8 and allowed Tiger to take a 3 shot lead with 2 to go.
Tiger proved his golfing skills with another terrific iron shot to the 18th for a closing birdie and a 4 shot win over Harrington(72) and Robert Allenby(66)
It was a great week for Harrington as he tee's up with Tiger once again next week when he will defend his US PGA title at Hazeltine.
