WASHINGTON: A season that saw Tiger Woods capture his 15th major title by winning the Masters came to a close on Sunday for the 43-year-old star at the PGA BMW Championship.
"Some of the tournaments I didn't play as well as I wanted to," Woods said."But I've got the green jacket."Sixth-ranked Woods, chasing the all-time record 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus, has won 81 PGA titles, one shy of matching Sam Snead's career record. A fifth career Masters victory in April at Augusta National brought Woods his first major title since the 2008 US Open and hailed the completion of his fightback from years of back and knee injuries.
But Woods had to withdraw last week with an oblique strain and tumbled from 28th to 38th in points, forcing him to need to finish about 12th to qualify for East Lake.Woods dropped his approach three feet from the cup to set up a birdie at the par-4 fourth, holed a 31-foot birdie putt at the par-5 fifth and answered a bogey at six after finding a greenside bunker by making birdie at the par-5 seventh, thanks largely to a stellar chip from rough in trees that stopped three feet from the hole.
