World number one Tiger Woods got a seven-shot win in the Bridgestone Invitational as the golfer warms up for the final major of the year, the US PGA Championship.

According to the BBC, starting the final round seven shots clear, the American coasted to victory to secure his eighth title at Firestone Country Club in Ohio.

Compatriot Keegan Bradley finished tied second with Swede Henrik Stenson, the report said.

After Friday's career-equalling best 61, Woods looked content to cruise towards victory as he carded nine straight pars to remain 15 under, the report added.

Woods, 37, starts his challenge at Oak Hill Country Club on Thursday looking for a first major win since 2008, the report further said.
