This Sunday, Woods made his one shot victory was so intense that he went blank after holing a 25-foot birdie putt that caused pandemonium around the 18th hold at bay hill, and heartache for Bart Bryant, the challenger who gave Woods his stiffest test in the last 7 months. This win granted him his 64th win, tying him with Ben Hogan at No. 3 on the all time list.

Coming into the 18th hole he was tied with Bryant when he produced what he called the 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, then came that amazing putt.

“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.”

This time Bryant was the opponent. He made 2 birdies, 2 clutch saves, shot 67 and became the only player to break par all four rounds at Bay Hill and that sill wasn’t enough.

“I heard a big cheer, and I got up and left,” Bryant said. “That’s why he’s Tiger Woods.”

No one can say these guys are laying down for Woods. He still had to fight to the finish under a sweltering sun and Bryant was visibly disappointed when he heard the roar and saw the putt.

“I was pretty hopeless sitting there in the trailer, but I did what I thought I was supposed to do, which was put the pressure back on Tiger to make the play,” Bryant said. “And he has a habit of making it when he needs to.”
