After shooting a 67 and winning the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club by one stroke, Tiger Woods the golfer was interviewed by Tiger Woods the tournament host."I've always wanted to do this, so bear with me," Woods said, cradling the silver trophy in the shape of the Capitol. "So, Tiger, how did you play today?" Woods said in a mock Q&A as thousands of fans broke into laughter.“It was great shaking my hand today,” said Woods, whose closing round of 67 gave him a 13-under 267 total which earned him the winner’s check of $1,080,000.Woods got what he needed at the par-5 16th, sinking a 20-foot putt that proved to be enough to beat Hunter Mahan who shot a course record-tying 62 on Sunday.Mahan earned a mere $648,000 for his effort and early leader Anthony Kim faded to third earning $408,000.Evidently, the recession hasn’t had that much of an impact on the PGA tour.
