MELBOURNE, Australia — Tiger Woods’s final putt on Sunday was still rolling toward the hole when he started to remove his cap for a postmatch handshake with Mexico’s Abraham Ancer.
It had already been a long week for Woods, but he wasn’t done, and there was no time to waste.
Woods’s 19-foot birdie on Royal Melbourne Golf Club’s 16th hole, which secured his 3-and-2 singles victory, improved his Presidents Cup record for the week to 3-0 and vaulted him into first place on the event’s career win list with an overall match record of 27-15-1.
