AKRON, Ohio (AP) —The W in WGC doesn't stand for Woods. It just seems that way.

Tiger Woods sailed a cloud-touching 8-iron to within a foot of the cup on Number 16 while leader Padraig Harrington was imploding with a triple-bogey, ending all the drama yesterday in yet another World Golf Championship win for Woods at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron.

The victory was the 16th in 30 WGC events for the world's Number 1 player, including a record seven times at Firestone Country Club in the Bridgestone and its forerunner, the NEC Invitational.

Only Sam Snead has more victories in a single tournament, with eight wins in Greensboro, North Carolina. But Snead achieved that on different courses. No one has ever dominated on a single course like this.
