His one-shot victory on Sunday was so intense that Woods may have been a little dazed but definitely not confused after holing a 25-foot birdie putt that caused pandemonium around the 18th hole at Bay Hill.
Unlikely challenger,Bart Bryant, gave Woods his stiffest test in seven months. He was tied with Bryant coming to the 18th hole when he produced what Woods called his best swing of the week; a 5-iron from 164 yards into a stiff breeze over the water to a skinny green with bunkers behind it, followed by a 25-foot putt that would have left him a tough putt if he missed.

“I was so into the moment of the putt going in and winning the golf tournament,” Woods said. “I kept telling myself, ‘I’ve done this before. I did it against Phil. And this time, it’s a little bit deeper into the green, and the putt has a little bit more break, and it has a little more grain. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.”’
The last time Woods made a birdie on the 72nd hole for a one-shot victory was in 2001 against Phil Mickelson.
