Tiger Woods’ three greatest shots revealed by caddie who won 13 majors with him

“Finchy was up in the tower behind the 15th green and I got his attention and said is that alright? He put his thumbs up so I said to Tiger it’s dry. “He gets up there and surveys the shot. He said Stevie, there’s a pitch mark, do you think if I hit that pitch mark it won’t go too far up the hill and it won’t get too much speed and come back racing past the hole. I said that looks pretty good. He explained the shot, unbelievably.”

“When he hit the shot I wasn’t watching, I was watching the pitch mark, just to see how closely it went to it. And it landed on that pitch mark. That was the most amazing thing, it wasn’t that it went in. It actually landed on the pitch mark! And the rest is history.”

Tiger Woods’ best three shots named

Steve Williams was on the bag for 13 of the 15 major wins Tiger Woods enjoyed. Within that, Williams got to witness some moments of genius from Woods and when pressed on the best shots he ever saw, Williams gave some unique insight.

“The legendary shot from Tiger is hard to say. The one out of the bunker at Glen Abbey at the 2000 Canadian Open out of that bunker. Or the shot at Hazeltine out of the fairway bunker on the 18th hole on the Friday, one of those two shots. They were shots which could never be repeated. The chip in at Augusta was okay too,” Williams noted on the Talk Birdie to Me Podcast.

Speaking more specifically on the chip in at Augusta, Williams added some further insight.

“It was just incredible because those few seconds when the ball leaves the tee and you think is it left, is it in the bunker? Is it in the water? And we were walking up there and Tiger is yelling at me. Where is it? I don’t know where the ball is, I have never been up there. It’s such a bad shot.

“Finchy was up in the tower behind the 15th green and I got his attention and said is that alright? He put his thumps up so I said to Tiger it’s dry.

“He gets up there and surveys the shot. He said Stevie, there’s a pitch mark, do you think if I hit that pitch mark it won’t go too far up the hill and it won’t get too much speed and come back racing past The most amazing thing about what happened next wasn’t even that he holed out.
