Golf: Tiger Woods Wins U.S. Open Title

Tiger Woods once again came up with a big birdie at the 18th, and went on to win his third U.S. Open title on the first hole of sudden death on Monday.

It was the 14th major championship for Woods, who parred the sudden-death seventh at Torrey Pines to edge Rocco Mediate. The American world number one becomes the first golfer in history to win seven tournaments on one golf course.

It was just the third sudden death at the major since it was instituted in 1954. The last sudden death at the U.S. Open took place in 1994, when Ernie Els defeated Loren Roberts and Colin Montgomerie for the title.
