Woods seals Bridgestone playoff win on 10th anniversary
Tiger Woods, celebrating 10 years as a pro, wins the Bridgestone Invitational with a dramatic playoff over Stewart Cink. Woods led early, ceded a three-shot edge, then birdied the fourth extra hole to clinch at 10 under, matching strong title momentum after winning the PGA Championship last week. Cink, who once predicted Woods’ struggle to earn his card, settles for runner-up after a late rally.
