GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Tiger Woods has another trophy for his overflowing collection.

Woods shot a 69 Sunday and coasted to a three-shot victory with a 20-under 268 at the Buick Open for the 69th PGA Tour title of his career.

He improved to 36-1 when he has the outright lead after 54 holes. Woods has four wins this season — doubling the total of his nearest competitors — in just 11 starts since returning from knee surgery.
