Tiger Woods cruised to his fourth title of the season as he prepared for the USPGA Championship with a runaway victory at the Buick Open in Michigan.
The world number one carded a two-under-par 70 to finish the 72-hole event on 17-under on 271.
"Sometimes I just beat the guys. Other times, I've gotten some great breaks that have allowed me to go on to win," Woods said. "You can't always play great all the time. You have to get some help, and I've got my share of good luck."
Woods admitted he had played badly down the final stretch. He double-bogeyed the par-three 17th but still took a three-shot lead to the 18th.
"We play sports and we're all human," Woods added. "We're all going to make mistakes. As I said, I made my share of mistakes today, and you have to have a lot of luck on your side in order to win".
Esteban Toledo began the day just a stroke behind Woods and stayed there for the first 12 holes but could not manage his first win after six years on the PGA Tour.
He settled for his second career runner-up finish, ending up in a four-way tie at 13 under on 275 alongside Mark O'Meara, Brian Gay and Fred Funk.
