in the fairway. There you go. Well, today this is the easiest hole in the golf course. We saw him squander the ninth hole after hitting the big drive. We’ll see what he does here, Bob. It’s been two eagles. Just came really fast and out of it. And that’s going right, Roger. Yes, it is. He didn’t like it at all. No. You know, if he gets it down there where it’s trampled, I’m not sure he got that far over, but if he did, uh, so far right has gone over the bunkers, I think. Well, if anybody could get the job done, Raj, and you had your choice of who to do it, I’d pick him. I think you got the right guy. I’d pick him. And this Eagle, if he were to somehow get it, I think, would change the whole U championship. I really do. This could be the one. changed the day yesterday when he made one here. Got him rolling the correct way. My golly, this is a great looking shot if the distance is good. That almost land in the hole. It certainly appeared that way. I I don’t know how you can hit a better shot than that. I don’t I have no idea. how you can hit a better shot. The last 10, 12 ft. Roger. It just keeps going left and left and left. I’ve not seen anyone miss a putt to the right of the hole. From in back of the hole, he’s looking pretty far right, Murf. Yeah, looks like he knows what he’s doing. I’ I’d guess that his eyes are out way out in the air, Murf. Yeah, he might be playing it good 5T. [Applause] Are you kidding me? There’s the uppercut fist. Well, there’s that eagle.
At the 2008 U.S. Open, Tiger Woods made an iconic 65-foot eagle putt on the 13th hole on Saturday at Torrey Pines. This putt, which helped him surge into the lead, is considered one of the most memorable moments of his 2008 U.S. Open victory.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
The Situation:
Woods, coming off a bogey on the 12th hole, was five shots behind the leader and 1 over for the championship.
The Shot:
He drove the ball right on the dogleg-right 13th, but got a favorable drop in the rough with a clear path to the green.
The Putt:
Facing a long, downhill putt with a significant break, Woods sunk the 65-foot putt, which Johnny Miller had predicted could “change the whole championship”.
The Impact:
This eagle, along with another one on the 18th and a chip-in birdie on the 17th, propelled Woods into the lead and helped him secure his 14th major championship.
The 2008 U.S. Open was a remarkable and improbable victory for Tiger Woods, achieved while battling a double stress fracture in his left tibia and a torn ACL. Despite severe pain and limited practice time, Woods overcame these injuries to win the championship in a thrilling playoff against Rocco Mediate. This victory marked his 14th major championship and his third U.S. Open title, and it remains one of the most memorable and heroic performances in golf history.
