Tiger Woods overcame two rain delays Sunday in England to win the American Express Championship by eight strokes.
Woods fired a four-under 67 to claim his sixth consecutive PGA Tour title, including the fifth of this event.
The No. 1 player in the world has posted eight victories in one year for the third time in his career, becoming the first golfer to complete the feat.

Legends Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer each won eight times in a season twice.
Of his six straight wins, Woods has won two major titles, the British Open and PGA Championship.
The win was Woods's 54th on the PGA Tour and 29th on the European circuit. He is now 38-3 when leading after 54 holes in PGA Tour events and hasn't lost since 2004 when in that position.
Ian Poulter closed with a five-under 66 to join Adam Scott (69) in a share of second place. They ended at 15-under-par 269.
Jim Furyk, who teamed with Woods in all four team sessions at the Ryder Cup last week, took fourth place at 14-under after closing with back-to-back 69s. Ernie Els was one stroke farther back of Furyk following a final-round 67.
