Tiger Woods wins The Players for the first time since 2001

What a day of golf!  Tiger Woods (with girlfriend Lindsey Vonn watching) won The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass for the first time since 2001.  Tiger finished at -13.   Swedish rookie (now a Jacksonville resident), David Lingmerth  finished in second at -12. Kevin Streelman and Jeff Maggert came in at -11 and three players came in at -10, Martin Laird, Henrik Stenson and Ryan  Palmer.  Sergio Garcia (who should have kept his mouth shut!) finished at -9.  World #2 Rory Mcilory came in at -7 along with Snedeker, Westwood and others.

Great win for Tiger, his fourth victory this season, the most to start a golf season in his illustrious career.  Gee, anybody want to say Tiger is not the best golfer in the world right now?  In the trophy presentation, last year’s winner Matt Kuchar (GT guy!) on hand to present Tiger with the trophy.  Tiger gave a shout out to his caddie, Joe LaCava, long time caddie for Freddie Couples, who he said gave him a lot of good advice in finishing this out.  Also on hand, girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, (as mentioned earlier) cheering him on!  Looks like things are going very well in the world of Tiger Woods right now!

Final leaderboard:  Tiger Woods, -13, David Lingmerth -12, Kevin Streelman and Jeff Maggert -11, Martin Laird, Henrik Stenson and Ryan Palmer at -10 and Sergio Garcia at -9.  World #2 Rory Mcilory finished at -7 along with B. Snededker and Lee Westwood and others.

Nice win for Tiger Woods!
