And Finally Just how dominant was Tiger Woods at in the Farmers Insurance Open? He gave up four shots over the last five holes and still won with ease.

Woods became the first PGA Tour player to win eight times at a single course, a mark that includes his playoff win in the 2008 U.S. Open.

This was Woods' 75th career title. Woods is seven victories away from tying for the all-time record of 82 Tour wins.
