Victorious Woods tunes up for Masters

MIAMI: Tiger Woods completed his tournament preparation for next month's US Masters in the best possible way by winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando on Sunday.

The American world No 1, who said at the start of the week he had finally shaken off the rust after eight months on the sidelines, came from five strokes behind to triumph by a shot.

"It's always nice to win a tournament pre-Augusta and I was able to do that again this year," Woods told reporters after beating overnight leader Sean O'Hair with a birdie on the final hole.
