PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — With a history of bruises on a golf course that can dish out pain on every hole, in a tournament he's won only once, and on a weekend he took verbal jabs from Sergio Garcia and jabbed back, Tiger Woods had to call on all his powers to win The Players Championship.
Digging deep after dunking his tee shot into the water on the 14th hole and squandering a 2-shot lead, Woods collected his thoughts before his next shot and controlled his emotions down the stretch to win his second Players, a dozen years after claiming his first.
