It was the first time in seven years that Woods had holed a birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win a tournament while playing in the final group. (article 1)
He rolled in a putt of similar length to deny Ernie Els at the Dubai Desert Classic last month, and, as ever, his timing was immaculate. (article 1)
He had started the day level with Woods, on six under par, and played assured golf to set the clubhouse lead on nine under par. (article 1)
As he waited in the scorer's hut, he would have been expecting a sudden-death play-off, so tough is the 18th hole to birdie. (article 1)
It gave him a total of 270, ten under par, and victory by one shot over Bryant and three over Vijay Singh, Cliff Kresge and Sean O'Hair. (article 1)
It was a result that brought him level with Ben Hogan in terms of PGA Tour victories and closing in on Jack Nicklaus, who won 73 times, and Sam Snead (82). (article 1)
He has won nine of his past ten tournaments dating back to July last year and, at this rate, he could pass Nicklaus before the year is out. (article 1)
