2008: Tiger ties Ben Hogan with 64th Tour win

In 2008, Tiger Woods indeed saved his best for last at Bay Hill, dropping a 24-foot putt to beat Bart Bryant on the final shot of the tournament. It was the first time in seven years Woods had won with a birdie on the 72nd hole of a PGA Tour event. Woods shot a 66 Saturday to take a piece of the lead and hung tough for his fifth victory in Orlando. It was the first time a PGA Tour player had ever won four tournaments five different times. The win, his 64th all time, tied him with Ben Hogan for third on the all-time Tour list. “It feels good; it really does,” Woods said. “It’s why you work all those tireless hours. It’s why you get up at 0-dark-30 and log your miles, bust your tail in the gym …to be in that position time and time again. Trust me, that’s the rush, to be in that position.”
