(AP) – Tiger Woods is able to celebrate a PGA victory for the first time in five years.
Woods delivered the perfect ending to his amazing return from four back surgeries by taking the win the Tour Championship by two strokes over Billy Horschel. Woods was up by as many as five strokes in the final round before completing a 1-over 71 that left him 11 under for the tournament.
It was the 80th victory of his PGA Tour career, and his first since the 2013 Bridgestone Invitational.
Justin Rose also was a big winner at East Lake. Woods was in line to win the FedEx Cup and the $10 million first prize until Rose claimed it with a birdie on the final hole. Rose put himself in danger of losing the Cup with four bogeys in an eight-hole stretch before finishing in a fourth-place tie with Hideki Matsuyama.
Dustin Johnson was third at minus-7.
