Tiger Woods shot from 2000 Canadian Open that left the world awestruck
Tiger Woods was playing in the final round of Canadian Open with a one-stroke lead over Grant Waite. The PGA Tour veteran's last hurdle was the par-5 hole 18, where the green was guarded by water.
Woods pulled out a 6-iron to execute a stunning-but-accurate shot. He flushed it perfectly, making a 218-yard shot. The ball soared over the water, cleared the lip of the bunker, and made a soft landing around 15 feet from the hole.
Woods then approached to make a two-putt birdie to secure the win at Glen Abbey Golf Club over Waite. Take a look at this shot that surprised everyone, including the commentators who thought Tiger Woods "missed it":
Woods' shot was indeed a risky take, since hitting a 6-iron from the sand and covering that distance with accuracy takes a lot of valour. His win in Glen Abby Golf Club in 2000 also marked a rare Triple Crown (winning the U.S. Open, British Open and the Canadian Open in the same calendar year).
Before Tiger won it in 2000, this feat was last achieved by Lee Trevino in 1971.
