Tiger wins his own Golf Tournement
Tiger Woods has won the AT&T National at Congressional.
Tiger Woods who was the host of the tournement has won by defeating Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan.
Woods and Kim were tied for the lead heading into the final round at -10 and would be paired together for the very first time at Congressional Country Club.
But, Before Kim and Woods would tee off, Hunter Mahan had begun his charge for the lead playing a very solid round of golf which meant he would finish with a score of 62 to complete the tournement at -12 which Kim and Tiger would have to beat.
Kim started with a birdie but made 2 bogeys to finish his final round with a score of 71 to finish at -9 meaning he would be third at the tournement he won last year.
Woods meanwhile only made one bogey on his round along with 4 birdies to finish at 13 under par and beat Mahan by one stroke.
Woods said earlier in the tournement that he wanted “to be a greedy host” and win his own tournement and done so today.
Kim may have been victim to the aura of Tiger but it can only help to improve his game and maybe one day we will be calling Anthony Kim the world number 1.
