Tiger Woods has won his first golfing victory in two years.
The shamed golfer was tied on the 18th hole with Zach Johnson before finally getting the victory at the Chevron World Challenge in Thousand Oaks on Sunday.
He punched the air with glee and waved to fans and seemed relieved. "It feels great," Tiger said. "It feels awesome."
