    According to Steve Williams, the tournament changed at 35:23. Steve asked him if he wanted to continue after the shot in the rough hurt him and Tiger said "I'm winning this fucking tournament."

    Greatest back 9 I’ve ever seen in golf was in the 3rd round. My goodness it was breathtaking. I live in the Chicago area so it was around 9-10pm when he was finishing his back 9 but I did not go to sleep until his eagle putt dropped on 18. It was well worth staying up for. And then Dan Hicks quote gave me goosebumps. “Get the knee up on ice Tiger. You’ve got another 54 hole lead in a major championship and I don’t think he’s attained that kind of position quite like he did today. This has been absolutely remarkable”.

      That putt he dropped on 13 was exactly why he is the best to ever do it. I often say if I had a Time Machine the first thing I would do is make sure he never met that Swedish nanny.

    I was there for the second and third round of the 2008 US Open. I was on the 14th hole in round 3 where the drives would land. I stayed there until Tiger came through where I was. Before Tiger made the putt on 13, it was a little quiet except for a few people that were in the crowd near me. Then the noise on 13 started to grow and grow, and it took a few seconds before the loud noise reached where I was.
    Unfortunately Tiger’s tee shot on 14 landed about 10 yards behind me, so I was miffed about that.

    Fun to watch. Played Torrey Pines so many times in late seventies/early eighties. I remember 6 Bucks? Maybe that was the twilight fee? I ain't that good, but I shot my best round ever on South course, 85. Plus, I got to watch Arnold Palmer play the North course. Watching him play was a thrill.

The hour shorts are fantastic, however many of TW's charges and great shots were made in the early rounds and the short films didn't always capture them. For example, were Tiger say at the end of the first round 5 shots back even par, to the second round segment of him being at 8 under at the top of the leaderboard without seeing the shots of his advance, save his killer daggers. That being said THIS ALL SHOT(S) VIDEO TOTALLY KILLS IT!!! How about the 100th U. S. Open at Pebble Beach? Thank you U.S.G.A!!!! This is why I'm subscribed!

If you ever go back and edit the audio again, please remove the audio of individuals who are alone screaming "in the hole" or "one time" (particularly on the par threes); it's not only annoying, but the sudden jump in sound volume gives me a headache as I'm sure it does others.

    • @thebigsquirrel50
      @thebigsquirrel50 5 місяців тому

      US Opens are notorious for being the toughest tests, but today's versions have been noticeably "easier" based on course setup.
      US Opens from earlier years had an emphasis on long rough and baked out greens to keep scores near even par. If you find highlights, look at the 2006/2007 US Open for a serious look at a brute of a tournament.

    This is the best way to watch golf. Tiger-centric. Otherwise I can't watch golf.
