TIGER Woods' astonishing seven-event winning streak came to a quiet end as Australian Geoff Ogilvy won the £4m CA Championship in Miami.

Hartlepool's Graeme Storm, in just his second World Golf Championship event, was the best European, four shots behind in a tie for sixth.

Woods, who had not been beaten in nearly seven months, had a horrendous week on the greens, but finished only two strokes off the pace.

He made a mini charge late in the final round but had left himself with too much work as Ogilvy eked out a one-stroke victory over Fiji's Vijay Singh, American Jim Furyk and South African Retief Goosen, with Woods alone in fifth place at Doral Resort's Blue Monster.

I made too many mistakes this week,'' said Woods.

I had four threeputts, two terrible lies in bunkers and a photographer got me (by snapping early on hole nine).

With all that, to finish only two back, I think that's a great sign. I don't think you guys or the fans really understand just how small the difference is between winning and not winning.'' Ogilvy, meanwhile, was delighted to end a near two-year drought since his previous victory at the 2006 United States Open.

He had a two-stroke lead with nine holes left when the final round resumed and got the job done by parring every hole on the way home.

He had a spot of luck at the parthree 13th, where a 30-foot chip shot for par clattered against the pin and dropped in.

That saved him at least one stroke, maybe even two, but he was very steady apart from that, forcing his pursuers to come at him.

I didn't think nine pars would do it,'' said Ogilvy, surprised that nobody applied more pressure.

Holding off the group is pretty nice.

There was a fair bit of talent on the l e a d e r - board."

Ogilvy's fourth prof e s s i o n a l v i c t o r y saw him become just the third player to win more than one WGC event, joining Woods (15) and Darren Clarke (two).

Alhough he did not play a spectacular back nine, Ogilvy played the dangerous par-four 18th flawlessly.

He hit a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway, avoiding the water, and followed it with an eight iron to the heart of the green before leaving his first putt stone dead.

That left Singh needing to chip in from 25 feet to force a play-off but he could not.

My standard of play was best on Thursday and worst today,'' said Ogilvy, who led after every round.

I played so good on Thursday it was silly. Saturday was okay and by this morning I was hanging on a little bit."
