Star finishes round with back-to-back birdies to break out of 4-way tie
DUBLIN, Ohio - Two holes, two towering shots, two clutch birdies.
Just like that, Tiger Woods broke out of a four-way tie and won the Memorial on Sunday with a 7-under 65 to cap off a high-charged comeback. And just as suddenly, he silenced the skeptics(怀疑者) who wondered if he was ready to defend his title in the U.S. Open in two weeks at Bethpage Black.
“I knew I could do this,” Woods said after birdies on the final two holes gave him a one-shot victory. “I was close to winning, but the game wasn’t quite there when I really needed it on Sunday. I rectified(修复) that.”
