Tiger Woods completed another stellar round from the couch on Sunday to pull away and win the PGA Championship. It was his second consecutive major championship since he had surgery on his leg.
Woods was granted an exception from the PGA that allowed him to play the tournament via satellite on his Sony PlayStation. His first round was strong, but the second and third rounds were lackluster. Woods blamed those two rounds on too much Madden the night before.
On Sunday, he was back to his usual self. He claims to have eaten some milk and cookies and got a good night sleep before the final round. He came to his living room on a mission on Sunday.
The first nine holes were easy for Woods because he was playing the game on the veteran level. After he took a nine shot lead, he moved the game up to expert for the back nine.
He struggled there and had only one birdie, but it was still enough to win the title. His success was in big part due to other golfers who once again seemed lost without Woods on the course.
Woods said that he has been having fun playing from home, but that he misses the live competition. "It's just not the same. I can't look in my competitors eyes and see the fear, the look that says, 'Oh sh*t, I'm playing against Tiger Woods', I miss that," he said.
