Tiger Woods has won the Australian Masters for his seventh victory of the year, closing with a 4-under 68 for a victory that drew record crowds at Kingston Heath. In his first trip Down Under in 11 years, Woods put on quite a show for his $3 million appearance fee.

Woods pulled away from a three-way tie for the lead with three birdies on his opening six holes today, then seized control with a tee shot that covered the flag and stopped 6 feet away for birdie on the 15th. He now has won 82 times around the world in 13 countries. (More Tiger Woods stories.)
