Tiger Woods felt he had proved the doubters wrong after maintaining his incredible record in WGC events with victory in the American Express Championship in San Francisco.
Woods defeated John Daly on the second play-off hole after the pair had finished tied on 10-under-par at Harding Park.
After both players parred the 18th, in sudden death the world number one left his birdie putt on the 16th inches short of the hole, and then watched as Daly three-putted from 18 feet.
It gave Woods his fourth American Express title in six attempts, his 11th win in 21 World Golf Championship events, and took his earnings to £7.7million in WGC events alone.
The 29-year-old took his tally of majors to 10 with victory in the US Masters and Open Championship, despite starting the year with question marks over his decision to change his swing with coach Hank Haney.
"It turned out to be a great week. I didn't really have my best stuff this week but I hung in there with my mind and hit some good shots when I needed to," said Woods.
Ireland's Graeme McDowell finished in a share of sixth place on five-under after a final round of 68, while Paul McGinley posted a 73 for three-over.
It was a tournament to forget for Padraig Harrington who closed with a 73, 19- over-par.
