Tiger Woods, 2005, 16th Hole

On the 16th hole in 2005, Tiger Woods faced a very difficult situation. Woods had pulled his ball to the left, and it came to rest up against the second cut, about 15 feet from the green. As Woods examined his second shot on the par three, he walked much of the green, knowing that he would have to play his shot well to the left, then let it take the slope down to the hole.

Woods executed the shot to perfection, hitting his ball about 20 feet to the left of the hole, letting it take the slope toward the cup. And did it ever. Woods’ shot rolled down and appeared to stop just short of the cup before trickling in for an incredible birdie. Woods would go on to beat Chris DiMarco in a playoff for his fourth green jacket.
