Tiger Woods captures first PGA Tour title in five years

The wait is over.

More than five years since his last win, Tiger Woods tasted victory on the PGA Tour again, winning the Tour Championship on Sunday with a 1-over 71 to finish 11-under, two strokes ahead of Billy Horschel.

Woods led or was tied for the lead after every round and entered Sunday with a three-stroke lead over Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy, who both fell off as the round progressed.

Horschel shot 4-under Sunday to get into contention, but Woods never fell out of the lead.

Woods created some tense moments down the stretch with back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 15 and 16, but a par save on No. 17 sent him to the final hole, a par-5, with a two-shot lead.

Horschel finished second at 9-under, and Dustin Johnson finished alone in third at 7-under.
