Tiger Woods Snaps Two-Year Title Drought With Win at Chevron World Challenge

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Tiger Woods won his first golf tournament in more than two years Sunday at the Chevron World Challenge.

The former world No. 1 claimed victory in the unofficial 18-man event by one shot over compatriot Zach Johnson after closing with back-to-back birdies for a final round 69 and a 10-under total.

Johnson hit a birdie on 16 to take the lead, but Woods hit birdie putts of 15 and six feet on the last two holes to seal the win, prompting an emphatic fist pump and a huge roar from the crowd at Thousand Oaks, Calif.

"It feels great," Woods said, according to USA Today.

"It was a lot of fun coming down the stretch. I hit two good putts on the last two holes."

Woods last won at the 2009 Australian Masters, before his affairs scandal saw him break from the sport.

The win will see him jump from 52 to 21 in the word rankings.

"I'm obviously disappointed because I didn't come out on top and that was my goal. That's my goal every week," Johnson said.

"There were a lot more positives than negatives this week. And Tiger birdies the last two holes. You just tip your hat."
