MIAMI (AP) – Tiger Woods played his best golf when he finally got some competition Sunday at Doral, then played his worst when it no longer mattered.

Despite a bogey-bogey finish on the Blue Monster, Woods closed with a 3-under 69 for a one-shot victory over David Toms and Colombian rookie Camilo Villegas in the Ford Championship at Doral, his second victory of the year and the 13th time he has successfully defended a title.

Woods finished at 20-under 268 and never lost his lead on a breezy afternoon, and after Toms closed to within one shot with two straight birdies on the back nine, Woods found another gear.

He holed a 12-foot birdie on the 11th, then became the only player to reach the 603-yard 12th in two shots for a birdie to restore his lead to three shots.

Toms made it easier for him at the end.

Woods, who hit a wedge over the 17th green to make his first bogey of the final round, was in the right rough on the daunting 18th hole, leading by one shot. He watched Toms run a 60-foot birdie putt some 10 feet past the hole, then miss the par putt for his first three-putt of the week.

Woods only needed a bogey, and it showed. He hit his approach well right into a bunker, blasted out to 12 feet and two-putted for a bogey.

“Anywhere inside the bleachers and I’m fine … just as long as I can make bogey,” Woods said. “A W’ is a W.”‘

Woods’ 48th career victory enhanced his reputation as golf’s best closer.

He now is 34-3 when he has at least a share of the 54-hole lead, and he has never lost in 20 tries when his lead going into the final round was two shots or more.

He became the first repeat winner at Doral since Raymond Floyd won in 1980 and 1981.

Toms and Villegas each shot 67.
