Do you remember when Tiger Woods won the Players Championship back in 2001? Of course you don’t. Only people who watch golf, like myself, do.
Woods made a seemingly impossible putt on the famous island green on hole 17 during the third round. While the ball began trickling down the rigorous slope and towards the hole, the words “better than most” left the mouth of NBC’s Gary Koch, who was on the call.
After a few twists and turns by the ball—which acted as a heat-seeking missile towards the cup—Koch’s creative broadcasting mind could only think to repeat that phrase before the Nike swoosh on the ball dropped into the hole.
