Indian golfer Anirban Lahiri ended a disappointing week with a horrendous card of six-over 78 to finish T-75 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando Florida. Indian golfer Lahiri dropped six bogeys, a double bogey and two birdies in his final round to total nine-over 297.

Four-time Major champion Rory McIlroy, made a back-nine charge like never before with five birdies in six closing holes to end a nearly 18-month win less period dating back to the day Arnold Palmer passed away on September 25, 2016.

Irish Legendary McIlroy's first win since came at the Arnold Palmer Invitational where he carded a final day 8-under 64 and won by three shots. I wish I walked up that hill and got a handshake from him. But I'm so happy to put my name on that trophy," he said.

Much before McIllroy produced his fireworks, Tiger Woods was the man in focus, as he has been since his return at the Hero World Challenge in December 2017. There was a stage when Woods, clad in trademark Sunday red-shirt, made three birdies in a four-hole stretch to start the back nine and he was within a shot off the lead.

Just around then McIlroy began his charge and at that stage five players were separated by one shot. And then McIlroy ran away. He made a 15-foot birdie putt on the 13th to take the lead over hard-luck Henrik Stenson, and then rolled one in from 20 feet on the next hole. To add to that McIlroy chipped in from 40 feet on the 15th hole, and then pounded a 375-yard drive on the 16th that set up a two-putt birdie.
