THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- At this rate, Tiger Woods probably can't wait for the 2005 season to start.
Woods played his most complete round of a difficult year Sunday, missing two fairways and one green in closing with a 5-under-par 66 for a two-stroke victory over Padraig Harrington in the Target World Challenge.
It was Woods' second straight stroke-play title after he had gone without one on the PGA Tour for the first time in his career.
Last month, Woods won the Dunlop Phoenix on the Japanese tour by eight shots. The Target World Challenge is outside of any tour and doesn't count as an official victory.
But Woods beat an elite 16-man field with a game that is starting to look vaguely familiar.
"Every shot I wanted to hit, I hit," Woods said.
He finished at 16-under 268 and won $1.25 million, which he donated to his foundation.
Harrington closed with a bogey for a 66, his only consolation a $750,000 check.
Colin Montgomerie, who had a two-shot lead and was trying to win his first stroke-play title in the United States, bogeyed the first hole and never caught up. He shot a 71 and finished with Jay Haas (69) at 13-under 271.
