Tiger Woods has won the AT&T National at Congressional.

Tiger Woods who was the host of the tournement has won by defeating Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan.

Woods and Kim were tied for the lead heading into the final round at -10 and would be paired together for the very first time at Congressional Country Club.

But, Before Kim and Woods would tee off, Hunter Mahan had begun his charge for the lead playing a very solid round of golf which meant he would finish with a score of 62 to complete the tournement at -12 which Kim and Tiger would have to beat.

Kim started with a birdie but made 2 bogeys to finish his final round with a score of 71 to finish at -9 meaning he would be third at the tournement he won last year.

Woods meanwhile only made one bogey on his round along with 4 birdies to finish at 13 under par and beat Mahan by one stroke.

Woods said earlier in the tournement that he wanted “to be a greedy host” and win his own tournement and done so today.

Kim may have been victim to the aura of Tiger but it can only help to improve his game and maybe one day we will be calling Anthony Kim the world number 1.

On the European Tour,  Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood would finish tied for the top spot meaning they would have to decide the winner by a playoff.

Both hit their drives into the rough on the 470 yard par four, but on the second shot Westwood would find the water, after his chip from the drop zone he left himself with a 30 foot putt for bogey which he slid right, leaving his 24 year old opponent two putts for the title, of which he only needed one.

Kaymer wins €666,660 and gets himself back into the top 20 of the world rankings.

And on the LPGA Tour Eunjung Yi has defeated Morgan Pressel at a playoff for the Corning Classic.

Anthony Kim leads the AT&T National Golf Tournement.

Kim set the course record with an 8-under 62 for a two-shot lead over AT&T National host Tiger Woods an 2 others.

The 24-year-old has not won since his victory here at Congressional Country Club last year, as he was slowed by an assortment of injuries that caused his game to slip just as he was being anointed as the next great American player.

It was the best round of his PGA Tour career, although Kim walked off the par-5 ninth green slightly perturbed after narrowly missing a 10-foot birdie putt. Apparently, eight birdies wasn’t enough.

Anthony Kim has set the pace early and looks to be in contention to retain his title, but there is still 3 more rounds to play.

German star Martin Kaymer leads after round one at Le Golf National.

The 24 year old began the Open de France ALSTOM with a course record-equalling round of 62.

So bad was Kaymer’s right foot that as well as being seen by a doctor he had a hole cut in his golf shoe to allow him to play Wednesday’s pro-am.

With the help of his three partners he won that by four with an amazing 16 under par best-ball of 55, but to be only seven worse than that on his own underlined what a massive talent he is.

Kaymer’s round actually began with a bogey, but after five birdies in the next nine holes he chipped in for eagle at the long third and finished with three more birdies for an inward 30.

Nick Dougherty followed up his win at the BMW International Open with a 66 and Ryder Cup Captain Colin Montgomerie, without a top ten finish since he was runner-up in this event last year, returned a 69.

Miguel Angel Jiménez, celebrated his 500th European Tour event but began with a hook into the water, he did however hit back for a 67 and fellow Spaniard Pablo Larrazábal, the defending champion, matched that with five birdies in the last six holes – after a triple bogey eight on the ninth.

Paul Goydos has taken the lead at the PGA Tour Travelers Championsip. Goydos birdied five holes on the back nine Saturday and now holds a one-stroke lead over Kenny Perry after the third round of the golf tournement.

Goydos’ 28-foot putt from off the green on the 16th highlighted a third-round 63, tying Hunter Mahan for the best round of the day.

Kenny Perry, who led after each of the first two rounds, had a seemingly comfortable three-stroke lead after birdies on the 10th, 11th and 12th. But he dropped a stroke on the 14th after making a bogey and Paul Goydos took advantage, making four straight birdies starting on the 13th.

After another rain delay of just over an hour, both golfers parred in. Perry missed a 5-foot birdie try on 18 that would have given him a share of the lead and then just minutes after Goydos misread the break on a 10-footer.

The final round is set to get underway tomorrow and it looks like it’s going to be a very entertaining day of gol.
