November 15, 2009 - Tiger Woods shot a final round 68 to win the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath in Melbourne. He finished two shots clear of Australian Greg Chalmers during his first visit down under in 11 years.

After struggling his way to an even par 72 in the third round filled with wayward drives and poor shots, Woods turned things around Sunday. He got off to a quick start with three birdies in the first six holes and held on the rest of the way for the win. His accuracy with the driver was drastically improved from Saturday and his approach shots were around the pin all day.

Woods put on quite a show all week for the nearly 25,000 spectators that lined the fairways and greens each day.

Tiger got his first win ever in Australia which was his 7th on the year, the traditional gold jacket, and a three million dollar appearance fee.

"I got a W," said Woods after his final round.

"That was the goal this week. I'm very thankful to have a chance to play in front of great people and put together some good rounds."
