| Eye on the Tiger: Round four Tiger Woods at the second tee Tiger Woods won the 129th Open title by eight shots to become the youngest player to complete the Grand Slam of golf - winning the Masters, the US Open, the US PGA title as well as this championship. Along with that achievement came all manner of other records. BBC Sport Online reviews the new Open champion's final round at the St Andrews course. Hole 1: Woods tees off at 14:40 BST. His first shot is an iron which comfortably finds the centre of the fairway. His wedge to the green spins to within nine feet of the pin. But he misses his birdie attempt to the left of the cup. Sixteen under Hole 2: As he has done throughout the tournament, the tournament leader takes a conservative approach off the tee and finds the fairway with an iron. His second shot lands on the front of the green but bounds on to leave him another birdie attempt. His misses this one to the right of the cup. Sixteen under Hole 3: After finding the fairway from the tee, Woods puts his second 25 feet to the left of the pin. He easily makes par, although his birdie putt seldom looked likely to drop. Sixteen under
Hole 5: The first sighting of the Woods' driver, the result being a huge shot down the middle of the fairway. But his next two shots are miserable - his approach fails to get over the valley just in front of the green, while his third just climbs onto the fringe. He makes par, but that score is disappointing given his long tee shot. Seventeen under Hole 6: Another huge tee shot leaves him with a second shot which he putts 25 feet past the pin. He gets down in two for another par. Seventeen under
Hole 8: On this par three, Tiger opts for a percentage shot, flying his ball 15 feet past the pin to give himself an outside chance of birdie. But his putt comes up shot and he settles for another par. Seventeen under Hole 9: After safely finding the fairway with an iron, Tiger takes a sand wedge which stops 15 feet ahead of the flag. His putt brushes the right side of the cup but does not fall. Another par. Seventeen under Hole 10: On this 379 yard par four, Woods hits an immaculate drive which bounces onto the green, leaving him a 30 yard putt for eagle. Despite leaving that putt 10 feet short, he makes birdie to go four ahead again. Eighteen under
Hole 12: Despite driving through the green on Saturday, Woods opts for the driver again and lands his tee shot on the green, before watching it trickle to the back on this 314 yards par four. His carefully played second goes up to the hole, leaving him an easy birdie, while Duval's bogey stretches the lead to six shots again. Nineteen under Hole 13: Another perfectly played tee shot lands on the fairway. He makes an easy par, as Duval bogeys another hole. Nineteen under
Hole 15: An ever so slightly wayward drive actually leaves him off the fairway, although his second shot is only 160 yards. The approach leaves him a long putt for birdie which he very nearly makes. Twenty under Hole 16: No risks at this stage, Tiger hits the fairway with his first, the green with his second and takes two putts for his par. Twenty under Hole 17: The road hole sees Tiger's first real mistake of the round, when his second lands behind the dreaded bunker and leaves him no option but to play wide of the pin. His par attempt pulls to the left for his first bogey of the day. Nineteen under Hole 18: With his win guaranteed, Tiger strikes yet another immaculate drive down this wide fairway. His pitch is lands safely on the green, although he has a mammoth putt for a birdie. His first putt pulls up six feet short, but he makes no mistake with his par attempt. He embraces his caddie Steve Williams and Duval, before receiving a big hug from coach Butch Harmon.
