Woods hosts earned a 4.6 rating and 11 share, up from the 1.5/3 a

Kim reaches 1-year anniversary of last win (AP)
Anthony Kim pressed a cell phone against his ear as he listened to
Tiger Woods, the tournament host of the AT&T National,
congratulate him on another impressive victory that seemed to mark
