ORLANDO, Florida - Tiger Woods rolled in a 24-foot birdie putt on the final hole on Sunday to capture the Arnold Palmer Invitational, extending his USPGA Tour win streak to five-consecutive tournaments.

The 13-time major winner fired a final round four-under 66 to reach 10-under 270 overall and beat fellow American Bart Bryant by one stroke at the Bay Hill course.

Woods won in dynamic fashion, sinking his first putt of the tournament over 20 feet after missing the previous 21 from 20 feet or longer.

As he watched the ball near the cup, Woods backpeddled six steps and then slammed his cap to the ground and pumped his fist in celebration. - Sapa-AFP
