Tiger Woods wins CA Championship, but not without stress at finish
Tiger Woods won again today, but things got very interesting down the stretch. Tiger had a 3-stroke lead going into the 17th hole and the tourney seemed all but over, but Brett Wetterich stuffed his tee shot for a makeable birdie of 8 feet. Unfortunately, Brett, visibly nervous, missed the putt.
But on 18, Brett striped a 316 yard drive down the center of the tight 18th fairway, which is lined with water on the left. Tiger “layed up” with a 2-iron off the tee and “layed up” again with an iron. Brett then stuffed his iron to about 8 feet again. Tiger then hit his pitch deep on the green, almost to the exact place where Mark Calcavecchia had putted his ball off the green into the water for a triple bogey. Tiger, however, judged the 52-foot putt perfectly, leaving a 1-foot tap in. Meanwhile, Brett hit a nervous putt that stopped a half an inch short of the hole. Game over.
