DUBLIN, OHIO (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Tiger Woods birdied three of the last four holes to come from behind and gain a two shot victory Sunday at the Memorial, his fifth win in the event.

More noteworthy was the fact that it was Woods' 73rd career win, tying Memorial founder and host Jack Nicklaus for second on the all time list.

Only Sam Snead with 82 had more.

Woods gained a tie for the lead with a chip in birdie on the 16th hole, took the lead when others started to falter, and birdied the final hole for the two shot margin over Rory Sabbatini and Andres Romero.
