| Tiger Celebrates fifth US Masters Title |
Tiger
Woods ended a 14-year wait to claim his fifth green jacket and 15th
major following a one-shot lead over fellow American Dustin Johnson.
At
the start of the final round at one of golf’s most iconic courses, Woods was -11
just two shots behind 2018 Open Champion Francesco Molinari on -13.
This
was a jaw-gripping contest between both players with neither player willing to
give up their aspirations of wearing the green jacket.

| Heartbreak for Molinari as he let slip a 2-shot lead on final day at Augusta |
The
turning point came at the 12th hole, where Molinari’s T-shot
unfortunately landed in the water. Woods’s T-shot however, landed safely on the
green.
It
was from this point, where the momentum shifted towards the 15-time major
champion.
Woods
birdied three of the next four holes to take a two-shot lead at the top of the
leader-board.
It
was from there that the five-time champion drove home the advantage and cliched
his fifth green jacket and 15th major to move within three of Jack Nicklaus’s
record of 18 major victories.

"To come back here and play as well as I did has meant so much to me and my family - this tournament, and to have everyone here is something I'll never forget."It's overwhelming because of what has transpired.'
'Last year I was just lucky to be playing again, the previous dinner I was really struggling, missed a couple of years of this great tournament and to now be the champion... it's unreal for me to experience this.”
