Tiger Woods wins the Chevron World Challenge his first victory since 2009 when sex scandal hit his life and his golfing career was disturbed. Tiger Woods birdied the last two holes to win the Chevron World Challenge and kept his impressive form alive this month.
Tiger Woods' last victory had come at the Australian Masters on November 15, 2009. In the same month, he crashed his car outside his Florida home in the hours after the US Thanksgiving holiday, an incident that led to the unveiling of his secret sex life.Tiger Woods remained without a victory for two years and 26 starts worldwide. On Sunday, the former world number one delivered under pressure, making birdies at 17 and 18 to erase a one-shot deficit and beat former Masters Champion Zach Johnson by one stroke in the unofficial 18-man event.
"It feels great," said Woods, who let out a roar as his six-foot birdie putt at the final hole dropped, then shook hands with Johnson as fans at Sherwood Country Club bellowed their approval.
"I wasn't really thinking, I think I was yelling," Woods said. "I think I was screaming something, but it was just that I won the golf tournament. I pulled it off with one down, two to go. To go birdie-birdie is as good as it gets."
Asked if he could characterize his feelings at finally ending his victory drought, Woods just beamed.
"It feels awesome, whatever it is," said Woods, who is projected to rise from his current 52nd in the world rankings to 21st.
