Tiger Woods Bombs, Mahan Wins At PGA Bridgestone Invitational

The Bridgestone Invitational is in the books, and it's one that will be remembered for more than Hunter Mahan winning.

Tiger Woods had his worst professional showing in the history of his career for a 72-hole course. Like it or not, that will be the big headline of the tournament.

But there was a lot to see out of this other than Tiger's misfortune and Mahan's win, although we definitely can't forget about those two things as we take a look at the highlights of the 2010 Bridgestone Invitational.

Hunter Mahan charged to victory by shooting a six-under 64 on Sunday. He shot 12-under for the tournament.

This was Mahan's second tour victory of the year, the first coming in Phoenix this past February.

Mahan took a two-shot lead on the 13th hole and shot par the rest of the way to take the tournament.

What can you say about Tiger Woods that already hasn't been said, speculated, pontificated, etc.

How the mighty have fallen?

It's almost inconceivable to believe Tiger would shoot 18-over par to finish the tournament. He has no game at the moment, and he showed nothing on Sunday to suggest he's anywhere close to finding it.

He didn't finish last, but that's because Henrik Stenson shot 20-over par.

Tiger Holds On To His Number One Ranking

AKRON, OH - AUGUST 08: Phil Mickelson smiles before hitting his tee shot on the third hole during the final round of the World Golf Championships - Bridgestone Invitational on the South Course at Firestone Country Club on August 8, 2010 in Akron, Ohio.

Tiger Woods, despite having the worst performance of his career, still is the world's No. 1 golfer.

This isn't because Tiger made some great shot to save his ranking, it's becasue Lee Westwood withdrew from the tournament on Friday with an injury and Phil Mickelson having a bad weekend.

All Mickelson had to do was finish fourth place or better. Instead, he shot a 41 on the front nine, didn't make a birdie until the 17th hole and dropped into a share of 46th place at three-over 283.

Padraig Harrington may not have won the tournament, but he did shoot a final round 66, which included an eagle, four birdies and two bogeys.

He'll be riding this performance into Wisconsin this week for the PGA Championship.

Anthony Kim Returns To The Course

Anthony Kim struggled through his first tournament since returning from thumb surgery this past May.

Kim's performance wasn't under the level of scrutiny Tiger's was, and considering he hasn't swung a club in a tournament situation in months, the fact he shot a 69 on Sunday is cause for hope that Kim will be back on top the leaderboards soon.
