Tiger Woods cruised to a final round three-under 69 and a three-shot victory to lift the Buick Open title for a third and possibly final time on Sunday. If the troubled Detroit automaker pulls its sponsorship and the Buick disappears from the PGA Tour calendar as expected next season, then Woods provided a memorable goodbye for a tournament and venue he rates among his all-time favourites. Playing his first event since missing the cut at the British Open last month, world number one Woods began a sun-kissed day at Warwick Hills with a one-shot cushion and was not dislodged from the top of the leaderboard. His bogey free round featured birdies at the fourth, seventh and 16th for a winning total of 20-under 268. Woods has won four PGA Tour titles this season and Sunday's success moved him to 69 titles in his career. Australians Greg Chalmers (69), John Senden (71) and American Roland Thatcher, with a closing eight-under 64, finished in a tie for second on 271. New mom wins British Open Britain's Catriona Matthew shot a final round 73 on Sunday to win the women's British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes just 11 weeks after giving birth to her second daughter. The 39-year-old birdied three holes in a row from the 13th to win by three strokes from 2002 champion Karrie Webb of Australia. Matthew became the first Scot to win one of the majors of women's golf. The Australian had a best of day 68. “I'm still overwhelmed by it all. There are times when I've wondered if time was running out for me to win a major,” said Matthew, who gave birth to Sophie just 11 weeks ago. Matthew finished second in another major - the 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship - when first daughter Katie was just three months old. Matthew is only the fourth Briton to win a major, joining Laura Davies, who has four, Alison Nicholas, the 1997 US Women's Open Champion, and Karen Stupples, the last home winner of the Women's British Open at Sunningdale five years ago. Webb, a seven-time major winner, chipped in from 30-yards for an eagle at the 15th and birdied the 16th in a late bid for glory. Japan's Ai Miyazato, a week after claiming her first LPA title at the Evian Masters in France, shot 73 for a one over par 289 and finished in a four-way tie for third place alongside South Korea's Han Hee-won (70) and Americans Paula Creamer (71) and Christina Kim (74). Funk wins US Senior Open Fred Funk has won the US Senior Open in record fashion. Funk broke away from the pack early Sunday and shot a 7-under 65 at Crooked Stick, winning by six strokes and setting a tournament record of 20 under. He entered the final round 13 under, one stroke ahead of Greg Norman and Joe Sindelar, but he separated himself from the others on the front nine. Knee and shoulder injuries that Funk has been coping with all year didn't stop him from breaking the tournament record of 17 under, set by Hale Irwin in 2000 at Saucon Valley Country Club. Sindelar finished at 14 under and Russ Cochran was third at 12 under. Norman struggled through the middle of his round and tied for fourth with Loren Roberts at 11 under.
