Tiger Woods won his fifth Green Jacket in stunning fashion Sunday at Augusta National Golf Course, as it felt like old times with him celebrating after a tap-in on the 18th hole.
The sports world was glued to the TV Sunday morning as Tiger made his move on the back nine, rallying for the first time to win after trailing going into the final round of a major.
Birdies on 13, 15, and then a almost hole-in-one on 16 led to Tiger having a two-stroke lead as he teed off on 18. He bogeyed the final hole but nobody cared, because his 15th career major championship was a done deal.
And everyone loved it:
TIGER
