Tiger Woods has clinched a record-equalling 82nd PGA Tour title.

The two-time Omega Dubai Desert Classic champion won the Zozo Championship in Japan with a 3-stroke victory over home-favourite Hideki Matsuyama.

He completed his last seven holes in one under for a final-round 67.

The rain-hit tournament’s finish was bumped to Monday morning after the fourth round was suspended because of darkness on Sunday.

Woods is now tied with Sam Snead for the all-time record of 82 titles.
