Woods won for the 74th time as he held off Bo Van Pelt on the back nine of the Blue Course at scorching Congressional Country Club to win the AT&T National on Sunday. Woods trails Sam Snead, who had 82 wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a final-round, 2-under-par 69, Woods beat Van Pelt by two shots and became the first to win three times on the PGA Tour this season.<\/strong> It is the 12th season in which Woods has won at least three times. Woods has won three of his last seven starts and his 30-month winless drought on Tour after a late-night car accident in November 2009 is becoming a distant memory.<\/p>\n

“Pretty much everything,”<\/strong> Woods said when asked which parts of his game have improved this year. “I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again. That was, I think, what, six months ago?<\/p>\n

“Well, here we are.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woods, who went 41 holes without a bogey until he made 6 on the par-5 16th, took the outright lead by sinking a 6-foot par putt on the 17th as Van Pelt<\/strong>, who was trying to win for the second time in 310 starts on the Tour, made bogey. Woods made par on the 18th to finish at 8 under. Van Pelt shot 71. Adam Scott (67) finished third.<\/p>\n

Woods, despite the win, remained at No. 4 in the world<\/strong> golf rankings behind No. 1 Luke Donald, No. 2 Rory McIlroy and No. 3 Lee Westwood. But Van Pelt, after playing the final 36 holes with Woods, said he knows who No. 1 is.<\/p>\n

Is he back?<\/strong><\/p>\n
