BMW Championship Scores BMW Golf Championship Winner

Tiger Woods ensures No. 1 ranking going into the final tournament of the FedEx Cup with an 8-stroke win at the BMW Championship

It's been two years since the world's No. 1 golfer could put it on cruise control the way he did Sunday at the BMW Championship, his win capping a stellar stretch of events that will likely be remembered more for his failure at the PGA Championship.

Still, starting in late July at the Buick Open, Woods went 1-1-2-2-11-1 in the tournaments he played, a kind of run that only a few could fathom. It was his sixth victory of the year, 71st of his PGA Tour career, and gave him a whopping 10 wins by eight strokes or more.

To win three times in six tournaments might be a dream for some, but for Woods that domination has come to be expected.

And yet, it gets him very little as far as the FedEx Cup playoffs are concerned.

Woods will head to Atlanta for the Tour Championship in two weeks in first place in the standings, but hardly comfortable. Sort of like the Yankees winning Game 3 of the World Series in a blowout or the Patriots heading to the Super Bowl 18-0 -- you still have to finish it off.
