Tiger Woods hit 13 fairways and 14 greens and carded seven birdies in the final round.
Hitting clutch shots when it mattered and stroking in key putts when required, Woods fired a final-round, 5-under-par 67 Sunday to win the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, for a record fifth time.
It was a sweet victory for the 36-year-old Woods, a two-time winner on the PGA Tour this year. He now has 73 career titles on the PGA Tour, catching Memorial host Jack Nicklaus, as the duo rank second all-time. Sam Snead holds the all-time record with 82.
“I really didn’t miss a shot today,” said Woods, who has now won multiple PGA Tour titles in the same season 13 times.
Woods did it in comeback fashion. Starting the final round four strokes behind Rory Sabbatini, he birdied three of the last four holes, including a delicate, 50-foot downhill flop shot that found the cup from deep rough behind the par-3 16th green. Afterward, on television, Nicklaus called it the best shot he had ever seen.
“The most unbelievable, gutsy shot I’ve ever seen,” he said. “Look at the position he’s in. If he’s short, the tournament is over. If he’s long, the tournament is over. He hits in the hole.”
Woods’ 67, which equaled the lowest round of the day, left him at 9-under 279, two strokes better than Sabbatini and Andres Romero. His previous Memorial wins came in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2009.
He also won $1,116,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points.
