The FedEx Trophy was won by Tiger Woods this weekend with a steal to the win. Woods claimed this win at Chicago, Illinois on the Cog Hill golf course with a sure shot to victory. This competition was sponsored as a part of the BMW Championship and is one of the well – known courses on the PGA Tour because of its difficulty. This victory for Woods can probably be marked as a come back for him considering the difficulties that he has experienced in the past month on the PGA Tour.

This win that Woods walked away with on this golf course was one that put him in the lead with the assurance that came with every shot.Woods won by a total of eight shots ahead of the other competitors on this course. He finished the course at 19 – under 265 to give him the lead. This was combined with his break in the course record with 62 in the third round and a close of a 3-under 68. These scores have led to Woods’ 10th win in the PGA Tour this year and his 71st win overall.

The runner up to Tiger Woods’ victory was Jim Furyk, who came behind with a 66, which allowed him to move to the third slot in the PGA Tour from spot 18. Even though this victory completely belongs to Woods, Furyk is planning on taking his best shot at the up and coming golf courses to challenge Woods to the end of the tournament. His recent move into place #3 is one that he holds with high hope for the next round of championship. Jim Furyk was followed by Marc Leishman, who holds third place in this round.

The next golf championship is not being disclosed by the officials of the PGA Tour. Experts are saying that this will be located outside of Hudson for this particular competition. For those playing in this tour, this leads to a new set of challenges and alterations that can lead the final results of the tour to a different direction.
