Tigerwoods Achieves His First Win After A Decade

Tigerwoods Achieves His First Win After A Decade

In a spectacular return to past glory, Tiger Woods won the 2019 Masters on Sunday, his first victory in one of golf’s four major tournaments in over a decade.

Woods energized fans as he pulled ahead during the Masters’ fourth round in Augusta, Georgia. He entered the final day tied for second place, two shots behind Francesco Molinari. By the 18th hole, he held a two-shot lead.

With that cushion, he bogeyed the last hole to shoot a two-under-par 70 on Sunday, winning the tournament with a score of 13 under par. Three players finished a stroke behind him.

Woods’ triumph marked his fifth Masters title; he previously won the green jacket awarded its victor in 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2005. Sunday’s win also was the first time he had won any major without holding at least a share of the lead going into the final round.

Woods now has 15 major titles under his belt, placing him three behind record holder Jack Nicklaus, who has 18.

“It’s overwhelming, just because of what has transpired,” Woods said shortly after a tap-in on the 18th hole gave him his latest win. “Last year, I was lucky to be playing again.”
