ATLANTA, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Tiger Woods birdied three of the last six holes to clinch a commanding eight-shot victory at the Tour Championship and inaugural FedExCup honours on Sunday.

Three strokes ahead overnight, the world number one fired a four-under-par 66 at East Lake Golf Club for a tournament record total of 23-under 257.

After bogeying the par-three second, Woods rattled up six birdies and one more bogey to seal his 61st PGA Tour title and a $10 million bonus as the first FedExCup champion.

His playing partner and good friend Mark Calcavecchia closed with a 71 to share second place at 15 under with U.S. Masters champion Zach Johnson (68).
