Tiger Woods produced a scintillating finish to win a fifth Masters title and end an 11-year wait to claim a 15th major.
There
were raucous celebrations around the 18th green as Woods finished with a
two-under-par 70 to win on 13 under, one clear of fellow Americans
Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.Woods, written off by so many so often as he battled back problems in recent years, punched the air in delight, a wide smile across his face, before celebrating with his children at the back of the green.
"I'm a little hoarse from yelling," said the 43-year-old. "I was just trying to plod my way around all day then all of a sudden I had the lead.
"Coming up 18 I was just trying to make a five. When I tapped in I don't know what I did, I know I screamed.
"To have my kids there, it's come full circle. My dad was here in 1997 and now I'm the dad with two kids there.
"It will be up there with one of the hardest I've had to win because of what has transpired in the last couple of years."
