Woods hails 'crazy' record-tying triumph in Japan

INZAI, Japan - Tiger Woods said it was "crazy" after he made golfing history on Monday by holding off the challenge of home favorite Hideki Matsuyama to win the weather-delayed Zozo Championship by three shots.

Fifteen-time major winner Woods finished 19-under to equal US legend Sam Snead's all-time record of 82 PGA Tour victories, set 54 years ago.

Woods, in his first outing since arthroscopic knee surgery two months ago, broke into a huge smile after he safely got up and down from a greenside bunker on the 18th for a birdie to cap a final-round 67.
