The moment he holed the birdie attempt on 18, Twitter started going crazy and predictable headlines popped up shortly after. "Tiger is Back" was the general message to Woods' one shot victory in a 18 field unofficial tournament, called Chevron World Challenge.

However, the world had not challenged Woods this afternoon in California. The top golfers of the world had played earlier on Sunday in both Hong Kong and South Africa, the latter being another unofficial tournament that counted number one, three and four in the world plus a handful of major winners. In Asia world number two Rory McIlroy had won and number three Lee Westwood took the first prize in Sun City.

But who in the US cares what the real elite of golfers do, when Woods plays a little tournament on the west coast? And who cares about the best golfers in the world when Woods actually wins a fumble duel with an out of shape Zach Johnson that almost did not dare to go for the birdie on 18, somewhat afraid of the stampede crowd of die hard Tiger fans, that even had the good spirit of cheering when Johnson missed his birdie attempt for a possible playoff.

With a nervous swing and an average short game Tiger did just enough to win his first tournament in 749 days. It was not nice, even though the player outside top 50 in the world holed the two last holes to become number 22, but it was a thriller to the last stroke. It was almost the same scenario as the year before, except last year the guy putting to stay in the match with Woods was a player who did not give a hoot about who he was playing against. And besides he was lucky ... And unpopular. How dare some European from North Ireland come over here and disrespect our Tiger by actually holing two of the kind of putts only Tiger can hole?



That's all forgotten now. Tiger won, displaying how Sean Foley has almost succeeded completely with sucking all the feel and creativity that was left, out of the form...
