Tiger Woods: 30 Best Wins of His Career
By Matt Cochran
6. 2005 Masters
Is there any more iconic Tiger Woods image than his chip on the 16th hole at Augusta National? It will forever live as one of the greatest shots of all time, and it still gives me the chills every time the ball drops into the hole after hanging on the edge for so long.
Chris DiMarco took a four-shot lead through the first two rounds after Woods got off to a rough start with an opening round +2. Tiger posted a second round 66 to get within six shots of DiMarco. Then he pounced.
DiMarco let Tiger right back in it during the third round. He gave Woods seven shots back in the final nine holes and just like that; Eldrick had the lead entering the final round.
It was a two-man duel on Sunday, and DiMarco cut the lead down to one entering the 16th. In what looked liked DiMarco might be able to tie the tournament, Woods pulled out that magic chip and built his lead back to two. However, Woods bogeyed the final two holes allowing DiMarco to force a playoff.
Woods won the three-hole playoff with a score of 1-under to add his fourth green jacket and ninth major title.
