Matsuyama’s 15-foot birdie try at the 17th was ruined and then found a fairway bunker off the final tee on his way to a closing par, with a three-under 67 setting the clubhouse target at 16 under.

Woods was able to retain his two-shot cushion heading to the 18th, where splashed out of a green side bunker to eight feet and sealed his victory with a birdie.
