Woods leaves with Australia wanting more

MELBOURNE: Australian sports fans were still buzzing on Monday and pining for more of Tiger Woods after the world's best golfer's master-class performance to win the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath.

The 14-time major winner left the door open for a possible return next year to defend his Masters title after a week of unprecedented scenes for Australian golf.

The Masters moves to the nearby Victoria Golf Club next year and tournament officials along with the Victorian state government are likely to try and entice him back again after paying a reported $3 million fee for this year's appearance.
