Greatest golf shot you have personally witnessed on Tour?
Even though I didn’t actually see it. The hole in one Tiger Woods made at the Phoenix Open in 1997. I was standing on the driving range which is closely located to the 16th hole. I swear the ground shook, it was the loudest sustained roar I have heard to this day.
