Warning signs aplenty as revived Tiger on the prowl again
The decisive chip-in from the rough at the 16th was Woods at his best and the victory, two weeks before the US Open, is an ominous warning to defending champion Rory McIlroy and the other contenders that he is back in business.
Woods jumped to fourth in the world rankings behind Luke Donald, McIlroy, Lee Westwood and ahead of Bubba Watson, Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose, Hunter Mahan, Jason Dufner and Martin Kaymer.
