MELBOURNE, Australia — Tee to green? Tiger Woods had been really good all week at Royal Melbourne.
With a putter? Not so much. He couldn’t buy a putt. Too many lipouts, not enough center cuts.
Until Sunday.
Woods finally put together a complete performance in Sunday’s singles at The President Cup, and it paid off in a 4 and 3 win over Aaron Baddeley in a match that clinched the Cup for the United States. It’s the second consecutive Presidents Cup in which Woods provided the clincher.
Woods produced five birdies (and was conceded another one) against one bogey in a performance that was as dominant as any on the final day of competition. It was the payoff to a solid week of golf that had been frustrating for Woods because he couldn’t get any putts to drop. He entered Sunday with a 1-3-0 record, including a shocking 7 and 6 loss with Steve Stricker to K.J. Choi and Adam Scott in Thursday’s foursomes.
"Today," he said, "was a different deal."
Indeed. According to the match details, he rolled in a 10-footer at the fourth hole, a 17-footer at the fifth, a 21-footer at the sixth, a 10-footer at the eighth and a 17-footer at the 10th while also keeping his scorecard clean during that span by draining those testy 3-6 footers that had been troublesome at times this year.
