Tiger Woods wins first major title in more than a decade

Tiger Woods has won The Masters Open at Augusta, his 15th major title and first in more than 11 years.

48-year-old Woods wore his trademark red shirt and putted the 18th hole to claim a hard-fought victory in which he took the outright lead only three holes to the end of the championship.

Woods said, “It’s overwhelming because of what has transpired. It’s unreal for me to be experiencing this. I’m kind of at a loss for words really.”

The win is Tiger Woods’ fifth title at Augusta and remains second behind legendary Jack Nicklaus who won six titles at Augusta.
