Tiger Woods made it back to the winner's circle with a finishing flourish yesterday as he eagled the 18th hole to win the Buick Invitational by two shots over Billy Ray Brown.
World number one Woods, who had not won on the US Tour since last May, finished at 22-under-par after his final-round of seven-under 65.
Brown began the day one stroke behind Woods, who had fired a torrid 62 at Torrey Pines on Saturday. He dueled Woods all through the final round before falling at the final hole as he posted a 66.
