HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Twenty years ago Thursday, Tiger Woods put the finishing touches are the most commanding major championship performance in golf history – a 15-stroke victory at the 2000 U.S. Open.
It will always stand out in a career littered with highlights, but for Ernie Els it’s understandable if he doesn’t spend a lot of time thinking about that day at Pebble Beach.
Els was paired with Woods in the final round and finished second, along with Miguel Angel Jiménez, at 3 over par.
“You know, I don't look back at it as much as Tiger probably because he won there in record fashion,” Els said on Thursday.
