Its been 14 years since Tiger Woods has won a Masters and after dealing with rain and almost being taken out by a security guard he ended that streak winning his 5th green jacket. Tiger is now the second oldest masters winner in history and now has 15 majors under his belt putting him within three of Jack Nicklaus. So how did he do it? Well Tiger started off the day tied for second and only 2 strokes off the leader Francesco Molinari who had been playing good all week. Molinari was on his way to winning the masters when holes number 12 and 15 got the best of him and ended up with a double bogey on both. It was now time for Tiger to make his move. He went on a birdie rampage when he birdied the par-5 13th hole and the par-5 15th hole for the third time this week and then birdied the par-3 16th hole which he almost ended up getting a hole in one on. Now there was only two holes left and he had a 2 stroke lead on Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka. Tiger finishes out with a par on 17 and a bogey on 18 to claim his 5th green Jacket.
