The 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines

Alright.

I watched Saturday, and I was pretty much speechless. The only thing I could say was, "Fucking Amazing!!"

It really was. Tiger made 2 eagles and a birdie down the home stretch to take the lead.

Then, on Sunday, Tiger sank a 10 footer for birdie on the last hole to send it to a playoff.

One shot that was probably the best shot of the tournament was on the 15th hole. Tiger hit his tee shot into a bunker. He was 174 yards from the green. Rocco had already hit his shot on the green. Tiger had to hit a good shot, and he hit a draw that curled to within 12 feet on the green. It was amazing.

Rocco makes 3 birdies in a row to take the lead by one down the home stretch, and once again, Tiger birdies the last hole to go to sudden death.

Then, Tiger wins the 1st hole of sudden death.

In all, it had to be one of the greatest displays of golf I've ever seen. Both players hung in there and played their hearts out, and in the end, Tiger proved why he's the greatest golfer of all time. It was beautiful to watch.
