Before you crucify me for placing Lord Tiger anywhere but No. 1, recall that he really didn’t finish with his best golf. Woods made bogey on the 18th to win by one after flaring a drive and punching out of the pine straw. But finishes can be great in their symbolism when not so climatic. This was that. Woods finished the greatest comeback in modern sports history. It was the finish of a long, long road, on which there were so many supporters following along. And many legitimate obstacles in his way. No one moment in golf had more people crying than this putt followed by this walk with Woods’ family.
Watching this on repeat. The noise level from the gallery, the hug with the kids, Tiger’s roar and genuine joy. Better than we could have imagined. pic.twitter.com/2oe3jILYKS
