Tiger Woods won his 4th green jacket today!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, he won, but thats not what was amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the 16th hole he made the most amazing shot to ever happen in golf history. The shot brought a tear to my eye.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiger woods had to make a chip in to win. He was in the rough and there was the hole about 40 yards away. But tiger read the green and aimed far to the left of the hole. The ball went wayyy to the left and past it. Suddenly it turned 90 degrees and rolled extemely slowly. At this point it was 25 yards away from the hole.

 

 

 

The ball inched, rolling slowly. Finaly, it was heading to the hole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then on the tip of the hole, the ball stopped. It was on the edge of the hole and for 2 seconds it didnt move. Then finaly, it wobbeled back and forth, then fell in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cried and stared at the tv for 5 minutes in silence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woods' Miracle Chip a Part of Masters Lore

 

 

 

By Associated Press - April 10, 2005

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The ball hung tantalizingly on the lip of the cup, stopping for two full seconds. Tiger Woods froze in his tracks, bent over almost as if in prayer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a moment, Augusta National stood still, too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shot was already brilliant. Now it was about to become a part of Masters lore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As gravity finally took over and the ball toppled slowly into the hole, the murmur building from the crowd as the ball made its way down the slope on the 16th green became a giant roar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woods raised himself up, yelled and began high-fiving caddie Steve Williams, while thousands packed around the green did the same with whoever happened to be next to them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They may not have seen Woods when he won his fourth green jacket a short time later with a playoff putt on the 18th hole. But they were there to see a shot that will live forever as one of the handful of defining moments in Masters history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Somehow an earthquake happened and it fell into the hole," Woods said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The shot had barely dropped when it was already being ranked among the most memorable of Masters moments, from Gene Sarazen's double eagle 4-wood in 1935 to Larry Mize's chip-in to beat Greg Norman in a playoff in 1987.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I was just trying to throw the ball up there on the hill and let it feed down there and hopefully have a makeable putt," Woods said. "All of a sudden, it looked pretty good, and all of a sudden it looked like really good, and it looked like how could it not go in, and how did it not go in, and all of a sudden it went in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"So, it was pretty sweet."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DiMarco was making a run at Woods, who had a precarious one-shot lead as they stood on the tee of the 170-yard par 3 hole that has been so pivotal in so many Masters.

 

 

 

DiMarco had honors and hit a good shot about 15 feet beneath the hole. Woods landed long with his 8-iron, and his ball caught up against the edge of the second cut over the back of the green.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If DiMarco made his putt and Woods couldn't get up-and-down for par, the tournament that seemed to be his when he started the day with a string of four straight birdies might have been snatched from his grasp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With one brilliant stroke, though, Woods walked off the green with a two-shot lead and enough of a cushion to still get into a playoff despite bogeys on the final two holes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"I think under the circumstances it's one of the best I've ever hit ... only because of the turning point," Woods said. "If Chris makes his putt, I make bogey and all of a sudden it's a different ball game. All of a sudden I'm one back."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woods didn't have many options from the precarious spot his ball ended up beyond the green. He couldn't hit the ball directly at the hole because of the slope, so he looked way left to make the slope work for him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woods remembered Davis Love III making a similar shot in 1999, but his was more difficult because it was up against the deeper rough. Afraid he might hit it fat because of the lie, he told himself to hit it hard enough to get up the slope and take his chances from there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Woods found a spot well left on the green where the fading sunlight was coming through the trees and took a few practice swipes with his wedge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"A lot of it is luck but I hit it pretty good," Woods said. "I hit it right on the spot."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ball hit, checked up and caught the slope at just the right place before taking a right angle turn toward the hole. It was still about 25 feet left of the hole when it began rolling slowly toward the pin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ball began losing speed as it neared the hole, slowing almost so much that the word "TIGER" could be read on the side. It made what seemed like two final turns, then stopped on the edge of the cup, teetering ever so slightly as if trying to defy gravity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As thousands watching from greenside and millions others on television held their collective breath, it dropped into the cup and set off a raucous celebration.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"He made a great chip. Great imagination," DiMarco said. "I was over there expecting him to make it. You expect the unexpected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Unfortunately, it's not unexpected when he's doing it."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tiger also made an amazing shot from 350 yards away in like a sand bunker behind these trees onto the green with his new swing earlier.

Play the whole video its a bit near the end.

 

 

 

Theres the clip of the video, i think you have to use explorer though.

yea, I saw that, too :) absolutely awesome, he deserved it after thos shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a hame for DiMarco who did awesome the first 2 rounds, though. but hey, it was Tiger :)

Ill watch it on the news 8)

Honestly I hate Golf but good for Tiger for winning he is good from what I hear.

i heard that on nova (radio in sydney)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any1 got a link to it?

yer i saw that. If he hadnt made it DiMarco could of won pretty easy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The thing i cant understand how did DiMarco make the same mistake twice on the 18th in regulation and playoff. He hit the front of the green twice and it rolled back down each time. Thats what lost him it in my oppinion.

Wow that sounds like a pretty nice shot. :|

 

 

 

Does anyone have a link to it?

Way to go tiger woods, i would if there are anywebsite in homage to tiger that have a small section of the shot videod?

Somehow that shot reminded me of that scene in Space Jam where Bugs used a magnet on Michael Jordan's golfbal. I was kinda waiting for a big cartoon hand to grab him and pull him down the hole as he bent over to pick up his ball :P

it was amazing and im not even a big golf fan.

 

 

 

I assumed it was exagerated about the ball sitting there for that long, but it really does, i couldn't believe.

Yeah, lol, i was playing golf when i heard it ( i shot 3 over par, a personal best ) amazing, and he tied the record with 7 birdys in a row :shock:

I missed it because I was outside, my brother, who isnt even a big golf fan told me to look at the shot on replay so i knew it had to be big

it was amazing and im not even a big golf fan.

You'd be suprised how long 3 seconds or so can be when you're watching stuff on TV. I saw the clip on sports tonight (i think) and it did seem like it saw just hanging there for like half a minute :shock:

I've been googling for it, but I don't know exactly what to look for.

 

 

 

What's the tournament called?

http://www.msn.com theres a thing about it

Meesy it was the masters at augusta. It wasn't the best shot ever but the fact is was Tiger who hadn't won a major in 3 years on the 16th made it massive. I must admit though even I was nervous watching it, I watched all 12 hours from 8pm-12 :oops:

I searched for the clip and i coulden't find it, only the article.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, and you can see the nike logo on the ball when it is stopped there. I bet it will be in a nike commercial soon lol. 3 seconds doesent seem very long, but if you think about it its a ridiculously long time.....and then "plunk".

Nope, but i have rented an edited spanish porn movie (they edited out all the nudity). I had no idea what was going on and the main character and a girl would like open a door to a bedroom and then it would cut to like the next day and the plot was so bad lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ive also seen legally blonde, and tupac resurection and i think thats comparable.
