well, lets get this started.
NOTE: Please excuse my bad golfing language I’ve never written a golf article before.
highlights: Tiger on 13 with a 3-shot lead but… plunk! He hits the ball into the water hazard and settles for a double-bogey. Then on Par 5 16th hole Tiger’s 3rd shot, a chip shot from the bunker and he gets onto the green within a yard of the hole he would birdie up 1. Then on the dreaded 17th hole: The water island hole Tiger lands it onto the green. Garcia on 16 for the eagle.. NO but sinks the birdie so Garcia and Tiger tied. Back to Tiger on 17 and he sinks the putt for Par on 17 so they stay even. Then Garcia on 17… misses the island and the ball lands in the water hazard. So Garcia trying again his 3rd shot obviously he gets it on the island but it takes a bad hop into the water. Garcia ends up with a quadruple bogey he’s out of the race. Now that other guy that was tied with Tiger David Lengmerth he’s one stroke behind now, but going for the birdie on 17 to tie Tiger… but he misses the easy putt settles for par. Now Tiger on 18 one up from Lengmerth going for birdie… NO! He does par the hole. Now Lengmerth the loooooong birdie putt on 18 to send it to a playoff… misses the hole by *that* much and TIGER WOODS WINS THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP.
