‘Electric’ finale excites Tiger

TIGER WOODS is back as golf’s world number one and, just like Vijay Singh last September, he did it in style with a victory over his main rivals.

Singh’s six-month reign began when he beat Woods by a shot in Boston. Now the 29-year-old American, who had been top for five years before, has regained the position by pipping Phil Mickelson for the Ford Championship in Miami. Singh was third.

The issue was decided only when Mickelson, winner of his two previous stroke play tournaments, narrowly failed to chip in on the last.
