Woods landed the 66th PGA Tour title of his career and his sixth victory at Bay Hill in just his third event since returning from reconstructive knee surgery nine months ago.

The world number one and defending champion started the day in second place, five shots behind overnight leader O'Hair, but he clawed back that deficit in 15 holes and took the lead at the 16th. There was still a twist in the tail as Woods bogeyed the 17th to fall back into a tie at four under par - but he sealed victory with a 15-foot birdie putt at the last.

"It feels good, it feels really good," said Woods. "It feels good to be back in contention again and to feel the rush and to have to deal with everything coming down the stretch.

"It's been a while, obviously since the US Open, that I've had to deal with the back nine on Sunday and it was good."

O'Hair had to settle for second place at four under, with Zach Johnson two strokes further back.

Australia's John Senden shot a 67 to finish in a tie for fourth at one under alongside Americans Pat Perez, Scott Verplank and Nick Watney, with their compatriots Kenny Perry and first-round leader Jason Gore tied for eighth at level par alongside Sweden's Daniel Chopra.

Padraig Harrington had moved into contention at two under after six holes before slipping back, closing with bogeys at the 16th and 18th to end the tournament at one over par in a tie for 11th.
