On Saturday, Garrigus was paired with McIlroy.
“Rory and I were having long-drive contests,” recalls Garrigus, 39. “That was fun.”
But it was the final round that makes the ’12 finale stand out from all of the other events Garrigus has played in his career, a 1:20 p.m. tee time with Woods. Both were four shots off the lead.
Garrigus joked with Woods that he would be playing the role of the invisible man as the enormous East Lake crowd anticipated a classic Tiger rally for his third victory at the season finale.
“Any time I made a birdie putt I’d give them the ‘I can’t hear you’ thing,” Garrigus laughed.
