Tiger Woods fought off back-nine charges by Woody Austin and Ernie Els to capture his 13th major title, firing a final-round one-under par 69 to win the 89th PGA Championship.

World number one Woods finished 72 holes at Southern Hills Country Club on eight-under-par 272 to defend his title in the year's final major, defeating US veteran Austin by two strokes and three-time major winner Els by three.

Woods moved five majors shy of matching the all-time career record of 18 major triumphs set by Jack Nicklaus. Woods now has won four Masters titles, four PGA Championships, three British Opens and two US Opens.
