| Tiger claims first victory in Australia |
This is Woods’ seventh win in 2009,and the 82nd worlwide of his prestigious career.He has won individual competitions on every continent where golf is played,Australia was the missing link. “I’ve never won down here,so now I’ve won on every continent,except for Antartica...”Woods said “..To have won on every playable continent,it’s something I always wanted to do.And now I’ve done that.” Tiger put on a show on Sunday,after he relinquished a 3-shot lead on Saturday to start the final round tied with Chalmers and other Australian James Nitties. He never missed a fairway and gave the record crowds everything the were waiting for,hitting spectacular shots at Kingston Heath golf course that will be remembered for a long time by the 100,000 fans hanging on his every move since Tuesday’s practice. American Jason Dufner finished 3rd ,tied with Frenchman Francois Delamontagne,and Nitties 5th . The Victorian government payed half of the $3 million appearence fee Woods received to compete at the JB Were Masters.The economic return is estimated ar $20 million. Woods delivered on and off the course,delighting the Australian fans with his victory. “He over-delivered”said Ian Baker-Finch. Chalmers stayed close on the final round but could never catch the world No1 and finished second, two shots behind. “It was like a football crowd brought to the golf ...I’ve never experienced it in Australia at all..”said Chalmers “That was special...Even though I finished second,I’m thrilled he’s here.I wish he would come every couple of years.I’m sure we all do.” Tiger,the face of golf around the world, got a rock-star treatment in Australia.When asked on live television about returning Woods said “I would love to.I want to come back, no doubt.” Tiger promised he would go over his 2010 schedule during the hollydays,but made no promises.The Australian fans will see him again,anyway,at The presidents Cup in two years at Royal Melbourne.
