All in his Stride
Re-live the most astonishing of US Open wins as Tiger Woods wins the 2000 US Open by 15 strokes at Pebble Beach
With further delays pushing play back on Friday, an uninterrupted Woods was able to sign for a 69 to carry a six-shot lead over European Ryder Cuppers Jimenez and Thomas Bjorn going into the weekend.
On Saturday, in gusting winds, the tournament leader made public his gritty streak with a string of par saves. From six to 20ft, it didn’t matter. When he fought from the
lip of a bunker on the par-5 6th, the result was inevitable: he punched his approach to 10ft and sunk the birdie putt.
Even with a triple bogey on the 3rd hole, Woods was still able to compose himself and there were enough birdies in the tank to finish with a 71. The damage? Ten shots clear through 54 holes on eight-under-par.
Thomas Bjorn Incredible. He is playing every shot like his life depends on it.
Ernie Els It was awesome to watch. Whatever I say is going to be an understatement.
