Woods wins California tourney, ends two-year winless run

California
(US), Dec 5 : American golfer Tiger Woods has ended his two-year
winless run with victory at his own tournament in California.

The former World No1 pipped fellow American Zach Johnson with a
birdie-birdie finish at the Chevron World Challenge, The Sun reports.

Woods was clearly charged at his long-awaited triumph and celebrated
with his trademark fist pump after nailing an eight feet birdie putt on
the last for a one-shot win.

Asked how it felt to have finally won again, Woods struggled to describe his emotions.

He said: "It feels awesome - whatever it is. It feels great. It was a
lot of fun coming down the stretch. Zach really put me under the gun out
there.”

A stroke behind Johnson overnight, Woods fired a three-under-par 69 at
Sherwood Country Club to claim the 95th tournament win of his career -
but his first since the 2009 Australian Masters.

Woods has slumped to 52 in the rankings since his extra-marital affairs became public in 2009.

He was also recently embroiled in an acrimonious split from long-time caddie Steve Williams. (ANI)
