Of the many remarkable shots that he hit in 2018, Tiger Woods was most impressed by the one he hit out of the fairway bunker at the Open Championship.
Woods was tied for the lead at Carnoustie, in the fairway bunker, 151 yards from the flag. He had to carry the steep lip and a burn short of the green.
“I thought that this is the tournament,” Woods recalled Tuesday at the Hero World Challenge. “I win the Open Championship, or I lose the Open Championship on this shot. If it clips the bunker, I lose. If it comes out, I’m going to go ahead and win this thing.
