Tiger Woods is Back, Wins Arnold Palmer Invitational in Dramatic Come-from-behind Fashion

Tiger Woods is finally back... back to winning. After knee surgery and two tournaments this year, Woods captured the Arnold Palmer Invitational for his first victory of the year in a dramatic come-from-behind win - with a flair we are so accustomed to see in him.

I was fortunate to tuned in and catch Woods making par at the 14th hole still down one stroke to Sean O'hair.  But when he connected on a long birdie putt at the 15th to tie it, I felt that all the momentum is on Tiger's side and Sean O'hair would need to make something special to turn the tide.

At the 16th, O'hair's ball landed on the water and Tiger finally took the lead. On the 17th, Tiger had a bogey because his ball fell on a difficult lie on after the tee.

It was tied going into the last hole but you can sensed from the crowd that they knew Tiger would win.

And he did in superb style. Tiger birdied the last hole to capture  his sixth title in this event and 66th win in his PGA Tour Career.

He started the day 5 shots back and his win proved onced again he could come back to win a tournament although he has yet to do that in major championships.

The win is definitely a big boost as he prepares for his favorite golf major championship, The Masters on April.
