Woods: Cheyenne Wins!
/Calling it a "wonderful jolt" to women's golf, Randall Mell shares all of the pertinent details from Cheyenne Woods' win in the Volvik RACV Ladies Masters in Queensland.

Woods surely made her famous uncle proud, closing like a Tigress under pressure to win her first professional title outside a mini-tour event.
Woods birdied two of the final four holes, closing with a 4-under-par 69 to pull away from hard-charging 17-year-old Australian amateur Minjee Lee at Royal Pines Resort. At 16-under 276, Woods finished two shots ahead of Lee (69) in what boiled down to a back-nine duel between the two.
“I played really steady,” said Woods, the daughter of Earl Dennison Woods Jr., Tiger Woods' half-brother. “I didn’t panic. I’m just really excited for whatever this leads me to.”
**John Strege talks to Cheyenne's mother Susan, who talks about the role Earl Woods played in Cheyenne's career and how proud he'd be of her first big pro win.
