(Hoylake, England) -- Tiger Woods defended his British Open Championship with a two-shot victory at Royal Liverpool.
The number-one player in the world hit three straight birdies from the 14th and finished the final round at five-under.
Tiger completed the event at 18-under, two shots ahead of Chris DiMarco.
Woods became the first player since Tom Watson in 1982-83 to successfully defend his title and ran his record to 11-and-0 in major championships when holding at least a share of the third-round lead.
Woods also tied Walter Hagen for second all-time in professional majors with eleven major championships.
It`s Tiger`s third win of the season and first major since last year`s British Open.
