Tiger caps year with Target win

THOUSAND OAKS – Tiger Woods ended his 2007 campaign at the Target World Challenge on Sunday just as it began, with a victory.

He won the Buick Invitational in January in his first start and weathered a few hiccups at Sherwood Country Club in the final round before cruising home by seven shots. It was the eighth title of the season for the world number one, who clinched his 13th major at the PGA Championship in August, and capped the best year of his life away from the golf course.Woods became a father for the first time in June when his Swedish wife Elin gave birth to a daughter Sam Alexis and they were both waiting for him beside the 18th green as he signed off with a four-under-par 68.”It puts things in perspective real quick,” Woods told reporters after winning his fourth title at the elite 16-man event which he hosts.”Even though I had won, I just want to know how she’s doing, how she’s been all day.I forgot for a moment ‘Hey, you won a golf tournament’.”This year on the golf course has been a great year but, off the course, it’s been the greatest year I’ve ever had.As I’ve said before, it’s been a polar 180 of last year.”Nampa-ReutersIt was the eighth title of the season for the world number one, who clinched his 13th major at the PGA Championship in August, and capped the best year of his life away from the golf course.Woods became a father for the first time in June when his Swedish wife Elin gave birth to a daughter Sam Alexis and they were both waiting for him beside the 18th green as he signed off with a four-under-par 68.”It puts things in perspective real quick,” Woods told reporters after winning his fourth title at the elite 16-man event which he hosts.”Even though I had won, I just want to know how she’s doing, how she’s been all day.I forgot for a moment ‘Hey, you won a golf tournament’.”This year on the golf course has been a great year but, off the course, it’s been the greatest year I’ve ever had.As I’ve said before, it’s been a polar 180 of last year.”Nampa-Reuters
