Tiger roars back to top of the world

Tiger Woods was in bullish mood after regaining the world number one ranking for the first time since October 2010 with victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational yesterday.

Woods was rarely stretched en route to his eighth title at Bay Hill – equalling Sam Snead’s record of wins at a single PGA Tour event – and his third of the season from five starts.

He finished with 70 in the final round which was held over after a freak storm hit Orlando on Sunday, with his charge boosted by birdies at all par-five holes as he finished on 13 under par overall and two shots clear of England’s Justin Rose.
