SYNOPSIS
 "He's back." You could almost hear those words echo through the shadows as darkness descended on Bay Hill this memorable Sunday. Tiger Woods was playing in just his third tournament since having season-ending reconstructive knee surgery in June 2008. He made this win one for the ages, though, as he rolled in a 16-foot putt on the 72nd hole to beat Sean O'Hair and win the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard for the sixth time in his career. Woods made up a five-stroke deficit in the final round, while O'Hair joined Phil Mickelson (2001) and Bart Bryant (2008) in being beaten by a Woods birdie on Bay Hill's 18th hole. The win, which ended a 286-day absence -- the longest of his career -- from the victory circle, was the 66th of Woods' career and his first since the 2008 U.S. Open playoff with Rocco Mediate. "You can understand sometimes when some of the older players haven't been in contention in a while and they come back and then all of a sudden they put themselves in contention and then they win," Woods said. "You just remember how to do it. It hasn't been that long for me, but you just have that feel of what to do and it's a matter of getting it done."
