US Open 2010 Tiger Woods Bid For 15th Major

Tiger Woods came up short in his bid for a 15th major championship Sunday in the 110th U.S. Open Championship at cool, dark and breezy Pebble Beach Golf Links. He closed with a 4-over-par 75 and tied for fourth at 3-over 287, three strokes behind winner Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland.
It marked only the fifth start of the year for Woods, who also tied for fourth at the Masters Tournament. Teeing off in the second-to-last twosome with Gregory Havret of France, Woods started the final round at 1-under par for the tournament, five strokes behind leader Dustin Johnson.

3rd Hole: For the second time in four rounds, Woods pull-hooked a 3-wood at the short dogleg, right-to-left third hole and was lucky to find the ball in tall grass in a deep swale. Somehow, he muscled his second shot through a narrow opening near the green in the left rough, grunting as he swung the club. He then lofted a sand wedge 12 feet right of the hole and made the miraculous par-saving putt.

7th Hole: Frustrated with his rough start, Woods broke through with a birdie at the 94-yard, par-3 seventh, the shortest par-3 in U.S. Open history. He smartly played left of the back-right pin placement, winding up 35 feet away, and buried the birdie putt.

10th Hole: Following a good drive at the par-4 10th, leaving himself a short iron from just over 120 yards, Woods came up short-right in the hazard. Lucky to find his ball in tall grass, he chopped his third shot 15 feet past the hole and two-putted for another bogey, shaking his head in disgust.

14th Hole: After a big drive at the par-5 14th, the second-hardest hole of the tournament, Woods went for the green in two, making solid contact but catching the deep, front-left bunker. From there, he hit a wonderful explosion shot to within six inches of the cup and tapped in for his second birdie of the round.

15th Hole: Woods had another near-miss birdie from just off the front of the green at the downhill, par-4 15th, as his 23-foot attempt slid left at the hole.

16th Hole: At the par-4 16th, he drove into the right rough and had 170 yards to the green. Woods came up short of the green in heavy rough, gouged his third shot 12 feet below the hole and poured in a par-saving, right-to-left putt.

17th Hole: At the 217-yard, par-3 17th, Woods hit a towering iron that simply refused to hold the ultra-firm green and bounced into the back rough. He hit a deft, downhill chip two feet from the hole and made the putt.

18th Hole: Thinking eagle, Woods hit driver for the first time all week and blocked it into the right rough. He slashed his second shot just short of the green, hit a nice pitch seven feet past the hole, but was unable to convert, the ball hanging left instead of breaking toward the ocean.

Conclusion US Open 2010: Woods said his strategy was to shoot even par Sunday. As it turned out, that would have won the tournament.

Good video, nice highlights! When Tiger made the par-saving putt at Number 3, at this time I really thougt he would have had a good chance to win his 15th major.
