Years of injury, insult and disappointment came to a remarkable end Sunday afternoon as Tiger Woods came through on the back nine of the Masters and emerged with a spectacular victory at the Augusta National Golf Club that will only enhance his remarkable legend.
The victory was his fifth Masters title and the 15th major victory of his brilliant career. It ended a drought of nearly 11 years between major triumphs, as the last had come in 2008 at the U.S. Open.
The final stroke of the victory was a short tap-in on the 18th hole, no more than two feet.
