By Dan Baynes Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) — Tiger Woods won the Australian Masters golf tournament after shooting a 4-under-par final round to take his first career victory in the country. Woods, the world’s top-ranked player, finished with a 14- under par total of 274 at Melbourne’s Kingston Heath Golf Club, two shots ahead of Australian Greg Chalmers. Playing his first event in Australia for 11 years and fourth in total, Woods entered the final round in a three-way tie for the lead after carding an even-par 72 yesterday. He made amends with five birdies on the last day. Woods collected A$270,000 ($252,000) of the tournament’s A$1.5 million prize pool. He was also presented with the champion’s gold jacket for the victory, which followed six wins on the U.S. PGA Tour this year.
