Tiger tracks down win No. 33 Woods prepares for PGA Championshi

GRAND BLANC, Mich. -- Tiger Woods has won the PGA Championship two ways: by playing the previous week and by practicing and resting.

Now he will attempt to win the year's final major off a victory.

Woods shot a 2-under 70 Sunday to win the Buick Open by four shots at 17 under. It was his 33rd PGA Tour victory and fourth in his last eight starts.

"You want to feel like you're playing well going into a championship," Woods said. "And any time you win, you feel good."

Although he missed a chance to win the Grand Slam with his 28th-place tie at the British Open three weeks ago, Woods has an opportunity to do something no other golfer has, beginning Thursday at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minn.

Woods, who won this year's Masters and U.S. Open, will be the first to win three majors in a year twice if he wins the PGA Championship. Ben Hogan did it in 1953 and Woods, who has won seven of the last 12 majors, did it two years ago.

"That would rank right up there," said Woods, who was to fly Sunday night to Minnesota. "Hopefully I can add that to my list. It's already been a successful year and I would like to make it even more successful."

Esteban Toledo, who began the final round one stroke behind Woods, stayed with the world's best golfer through 12 holes, but then collapsed with three straight bogeys.

Toledo shot a 1-over 73 to finish at 13 under, tied for second
