Woods declares season a success

SAN FRANCISCO: Tiger Woods usually measures the success of a season by the number of majors he wins but after clinching a Presidents Cup for the US on Sunday the world No 1 conceded this year had been special.

While Woods was unable to add to his collection of 14 major titles, it would be hard to find any disappointment in a campaign that produced six PGA Tour wins, a $10 million bonus as Tour Championship winner and the winning putt in a 19 1/2 to 14 1/2 Cup win over the Internationals.

"It's a great year, are you kidding me?," Woods said. "Even though I didn't win a major championship, to come back from what I came back from, to have the success I had this year, I don't think anyone would have predicted that and I'm very proud."
