IS THIS HIS FINEST MAJOR WIN? HERE ARE DEREK’S TOP FIVE...

-

1. MASTERS 2019 Yes, there have been better performanc­es and some with more historical resonance, but in terms of sheer human drama, this was in a category all of its own. 2. US OPEN 2000 Tiger had a double bogey and a triple at this major — and still won by 15. The greatest single performanc­e in the history of golf. 3. MASTERS 2001 Winning at Augusta saw Tiger become the first man to hold all four majors at the same time. It will surely never be done again. 4. MASTERS 1997 Tiger took 40 shots for the front nine of his first major as a pro — and still won by 12. Hello, world. 5. US OPEN 2008 The major he almost literally won on one leg. Survived 91 holes with a broken tibia and torn cruciate ligament.
