Davis Love III Masters chip in #16 Tiger Woods

Sorry about the poor quality, but this is virtually the same chip that Tiger made 3 years later in 2002, yet Tiger's is the only one people know about. Davis was in contention (see leaderboard after chip in), only to have JM Olazabal win.

tiger's was more clutch, IMO. i don't think davis's was even in the final round

[jfriday45]

It was in the final round.

I'm glad you posted this.....when Vern Lundquist said "in your life have you seen a shot like that" I thought YEAH IN 1999 DAVIS LOVE DID IT! It WAS on Sunday and he WAS in contention. I still love Tiger but there are other players who can hit the same shots he hits, just not all the time like he does.

@rdub1050 Condescend? Thta's your ball park. This is an infantile debate. I don't even see why you start the "But Tiger's shot was better" posting. Love hit it first, and the whole world has credited Tiger for that shot. That's what I'm tired of: Ignorance. And I'm tired of fools like you telling me what I think. I have been a golf reporter and tv commentator for over ten years - don't get me started on condescending you. That would hurt.

@MrAJR76 I agree both shots are amazing. Tigers is better though considering the situation and because the shot ended up setting up the win. If Davis ended up winning this shot would be remembered WAY MORE, because all the great shots are part of a bigger picture, the victory.

@Whaleshark1993 A great shot from Tiger. But Davis's was just as good. Give him the same credit as Tiger.

[Whaleshark1993]

Your +1 handicap over youtube....Ive heard that one before. Im not denying that Davis Loves shot wasn't a fantastic shot, as a matter a fact it was a spectacular shot. However Im sick of bullshit comments like, "easy shot", everyone could hit it to two feet when the reality is it was one of the hardest chips on the entire golf course. The reason why no one talks about this shot is because he didn't even WIN. Tiger hits miracle shots so often to WIN. Thats why hes the greatest player whos lived.

@Whaleshark1993 OK I'll take my +1 handicap that knows nothing about golf and sulk away you fool. Davis did it first, on a Sunday in contention only 1 shot back. Just give it up man, who are you anyway Tiger's mom? All you seem to be good at is calling people names. You're not in the same league pal, I doubt you know a wedge from a three metal.

[Whaleshark1993]

Clearly you don't know anything about golf. Tigers lie was off the collar which makes it ridiculously tough to get the blade of the club on the ball. Secondly there is such a fine line between hitting a golf shot under pressure and just hitting a golf shot. Finally the announcer wouldn't call it one of the hardest pitches on the entire course if every one put it 1-2 feet dumb ass. Im pretty sure Verne Lundquist who's commentated on the 16th hole for over 20 years knows a little bit more than you

[buffalobraves9]

@Whaleshark1993 I was there, were you? Yeah, thought so. Every guy that came through there put it down close to the cup and some in. Have you ever played there? I have and it's a pretty easy shot if you can hit a 60 degree wedge which I'm assuming you can't. Oh, and go back to grammar school, it's spelled LIAR first grader.

[Whaleshark1993]

@buffalobraves9 that is such bullshit you fucking lier. No one consistently puts that to 1-2 feet. Tigers shot was better because of the whole situation. Dimarco was 10 feet for birdie and Tiger made it of the collar. Oh and Tiger actually won.

[fauxmaestro]

@bogusmaan you can't say it didn't figure in the outcome....every shot hit figures in the outcome. That being said, I'm not taking away anything from Tiger. It's just that this business about Tiger being "the only guy in the field that could hit that shot" that we heard for so long is crazy. Lots of guys can and have hit incredible shots, just like Tiger.

[fauxmaestro]

@bogusmaan Love hit the exact same chip on 16 in the final round in contention......

[bogusmaan]

@espen1400 Love did what first? chip in on 16? i'm sure its been done before that and in non competition golf but nobody cares right? Point is that it didn't effect the outcome of the tournament and tiger's was essential. You must be one of those reporters that keeps writing he's finished.
