Two behind Tiger Woods with three holes to play, the
19-year-old smashed at the ball with his eyes shut, then
opened them and raced up the fairway to see the ball
reach the green.
He made his par four, but Woods held on to win by one.
Garcia said:
"It was between a five and a six-iron and I had to aim about
60 to 70 yards left," Garcia recalls. "I had 189 yards to the
hole and had two roots near the ball.
"I had to slice it and I couldn't afford to hit the first root.
Then I had to make sure not to start it too far right or I
might have hit the second root and the ball could have come
back and hit me.
"I opened the face of a six-iron as much as I could and tried
to get out of the way in case it hit the tree. I had to go for it
and it's probably the greatest shot I've played so far in my
life."
