Tiger Woods' first PGA Tour victory in five years at the Tour Championship on Sunday was "wonderful to see", says Tony Jacklin.
Woods last won a title in August 2013 at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, before finally lifting his 80th PGA Tour trophy with a two-stroke advantage over Billy Horschel in Atlanta at the weekend.
The 42-year-old's return to form comes at the perfect time for the US Ryder Cup side, with the tournament beginning in Paris on Friday, live on Sky Sports.
Jacklin, who played in seven Ryder Cups and was a captain at another four, will, of course, be backing Europe during the competition.
However, he admits he was delighted to see Woods end his drought, saying: "He was in command all the way through. He played the best golf, the steadiest golf. He was never really in danger.
