Later in the final round, he continued on tie with Billy Ray Brown till the 71st hole. However, Woods eagled the par-5 18th for the victory run with a score of 65. Sharing the experience, Billy Ray Brown said, “I hit it so fat — I hit the big ball before the little ball. I made par, and his eagle putt went in like a rat diving into a hole, as his putts always seem to do. Incredible.”

It was long, there was a lot of rough, it was a physical challenge, and he was physically superior to anyone else playing golf at that time.”

2008 U.S. Open

After having a win in the same year, on the same course, the golfer would have confidence. However, for Woods, it was different, as he was struggling with a torn ligament in his left knee and a double stress fracture in his left tibia. Despite the injuries, he went on to birdie the 72nd hole to push for a 19-hole playoff with Rocco Mediate.
