The golf leaderboard saw the name Woods' after a long time on Sunday, when Tiger Woods' niece grabbed her first ACC women''s individual title, after finishing a career-best 5-under par.

She is the third straight Wake Forest golfer to win the individual championship.

"I really felt confident this week," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling wakeforestsports.com.

"I was hitting the ball well in practice coming in and especially today, I was able to hit the ball where I wanted.

"That was key because these greens are really slick and you needed to hit the ball in the right spots," she added.

On Twitter, the golf great congratulated his niece, who is the daughter of his half brother, Earl Jr.

"My niece, Cheyenne, just won the ACC golf title by 7 shots!" he wrote.

"That's awesome, I'm so proud of her."
