“During the practice rounds, the funny thing is that you know, like three years ago Tiger Woods won here, and then he was in the bunker, I think the last hole number 18,” said Rina. “And I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to hit the same bunker as a Tiger’ and my coach, coach Greg, he was like expanding ‘Oh, is this the pin he was? He was yeah,’ so just like I’m really thankful.”
"@TigerWoods won here (the TOUR Championship in 2018)… he was in the bunker the last hole."

Notably, Tiger Woods had registered a victory at the East Lake in 2018 at the Tour Championship. He got himself inside the bunker on the final hole. But thanks to his consistent performance, especially on the final day, he had a decent cushion and eventually won the event by two strokes.
However, Rina Tatematsu avoided the bunker during the main event. She made an exceptional eagle on the final hole at East Lake and won the women’s championship. Moreover, this eagle ended up being the lone eagle of the tournament, which is an incredible achievement.
