Woods clinches fifth straight triumph with dramatic putt at end


Tiger Woods made a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational by a shot, extending his PGA Tour winning streak to five and keeping intact a perfect season in golf.

In his biggest challenge since this streak began seven months ago, Woods outlasted 45-year-old Bart Bryant and won with a birdie putt on the final hole for the first time in seven years. He turned and slammed his cap to the ground, letting out a roar to celebrate his 64th career victory, tying Ben Hogan at No. 3 on the PGA Tour list.
"I turned a mediocre tournament into a good one," Woods said.
