Tiger Woods looked like he was done Sunday when he chipped across the green and away from the hole before settling for a bogey on the fifth hole of Sundays’ final round of the U.S. Open.
It was his third bogey to start the round and was followed by another bogey at the relatively easy par-5 6th.
His back looked stiff, his attitude looked down, and his game seemed like it was a shell of what it’s been in recent months.
And then something familiar happened: Tiger went back to being Tiger and fought back to finish with a 2-under 69, his best score of the week and his best score in a U.S. Open in 10 years.
Tiger birdied six of his last 12 holes, including this one at the difficult 8th:
He had this bomb at 13:
This little one 14:
And then he wrapped it up with this short birdie at 18:
Sure, he didn’t win the U.S. Open, but the fight he showed Sunday was pretty darn impressive.
