NORTON (Massachusetts), Sept 5: Tiger Woods unleashed two eagles and four birdies in his final round to win the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday, extending his winning streak to five tournaments.

The British Open and PGA champion fired an exquisite final-round 63 to finish on 16-under-par 268, two shots clear of Fiji's overnight leader Vijay Singh and eight shots ahead of third placed Brian Bateman of the US.

Woods came out hard, taking only three holes to erase Singh's three-stroke lead, which the Fijian had amassed by shooting a course record and personal best 10-under-par 61 on Sunday.

Woods' first eagle came on the 554-yard, par-five second hole, where he landed on the green in two strokes, flying his approach shot over the hole's water hazard and making an 11-foot putt.

His second eagle was on the 600-yard, par-five seventh, where Woods, leading by one stroke, again marched to the green in two strokes to massive applause and sunk another 11-foot putt.

Briton Justin Rose and Australian Robert Allenby ended tied for fourth at seven under par.
