(TriceEdneyWire.com) - Tiger Woods won his fifth Masters on Sunday and a few hours earlier because of the difference in time zones, Lewis Hamilton, the world’s top Formula 1 Driver, won the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai.
As the gallery chanted “Tiger, Tiger , Tiger,’ Woods birdied a putt on the 18th hole at Augusta National before raising his arms in triumph to win the Masters for the first time since 2005. Woods overcame years of physical pain and tabloid-making personal problems that led many to believe that his best days were behind him. After Sunday’s win, it looks likes Tiger has come roaring back.
