Woods's 6 and 5 triumph over South Korean Yang Yong-Eun - the man who beat Woods for the PGA Championship title - gave the Americans an unbeatable lead in the biennial match play golf tournament.
It was the first time Woods had delivered the winning point in either Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup play, but he was too focused on taking down Yang to realize it right away.
"I didn't look at any boards," he said. "I saw we were down in six matches at one point, so I just kept my head down and tried to extend my own lead."
