Tiger claims Master's win

Victoria’s hefty investment in Tiger Woods has returned a healthy dividend in the form of the 2009 JBWere Australian Masters title, the AUSD270,000 (€169,000) first prize and the champion’s yellow jacket, all safely secured by the world number one at Kingston Heath today.

Woods, the joint leader after 54 holes with Australians Greg Chalmers and James Nitties, fired a final round 68 at the historic 6455-metre, par-72 layout in Melbourne’s renowned sandbelt to prevail by two shots from Chalmers (70) in outright second.
