Check out my shop! breakfast-ball... Every shot from the back nine of Tiger Woods' runner up finish at the 2007 US Open at Oakmont CC near Pittsburgh, PA.
I went to the Thursday round for Tiger at Oakmont in 2007. My first time seeing him up close, we tried following him around for a few holes but as usual it's minimum 3 deep in the crowd. He hit a tee shot and went into a small bathroom, my buddy and I waited about 15 feet away since everyone moved on to get a better position for his 2nd shot or near the green. He came out of the bathroom and we were staring at him, I said kick some ass Tiger, he laughed and walked away to the fairway. I didn't care, I was class to the G.O.A.T bathroom or not.
With a stimp reading of 15 regularly. I’m not the greatest putter in the world (of course not) but 2 putting let alone keeping it on the green if I missed would be an achievement. I mean it says something when Snead joked that when he marked his ball his ball marker rolled off the green.
Takeaways: 1) I miss when +6 put you on the first page of the board at the US Open 2) I miss Johnny Miller 3) I forgot how baggy Tiger’s pants used to be
@@Stewwwwww2000 he did something historical and you could also make the case that the injuries started just after he left Harmon. But it looks like you know something i dont, so what change do you like the most in his swing (2000 vs 2007)?
@@JT________________ 07' swing is a much more controlled. As much as I think his 00' swing looks great, it's really uncontrolled. He said himself that he didnt have much control back then.
@@lassepleb3258 2007 his driving accuracy was 12% lower than in 2000. What i remember from Haney was a knee injury and a lot of slices and snap hooks with the driver, especially after 2007. A great season no doubt but still not better than 2000...
It's funny that Tiger has a similar situation the year after this ('08 Us Open). He needed a birdie on the 72nd hole to force a playoff which he made on a broken leg. How did he make that but miss the putt here. I guess this one was a lot harder.
2009 PGA obviously was first major woods lost 54 hole lead but this and '07 masters he was in final group and lost to someone who came from behind. So this was a lost opportunity. And it's a little funny Hicks' "expect anything different" call was a year after he failed after same situation- something different happened right here
You’re right would’ve been a much better call to say “wow are we shocked to see the guy who’s usually always made the clutch putts make another clutch putt because he didn’t make the putt last year”. Clearly the call focuses on the body of work of a career where far more often than not when he’s needed to make the putt he has. Even the greatest players don’t bag the win every single time.
This tournament, in my opinion, was a shining example of golf taking "Tigerizing" WAY too far. I hate seeing the tournaments where the best players in the world WIN and 5 OVER par? I remember watching this and there were perfect shots that ended up rolling off into oblivion because the course had been tweaked so much and made nearly impossible to play. I understand making things difficult for pro players, but when you can hit a PERFECT shot, and it SILL is not good enough? I'm sorry, that's not fun to watch. It's stupid. It always seems to be the US Open too. I remember a couple years back, 2015ish, when even players were saying the same thing in press conferences. I think Phil was the most vocal at the time, which isn't a surprise, but he was one of the few that actually had the gravitas to get away with it. Anyway, I don't watch golf to watch the best player in the world get punked by the course. This was one of the worst tournaments I've ever seen. It wasn't fun to watch in the least because almost every chance for a great shot ended up being a missed shot.
The US Open doesn’t get referred to as the toughest test in golf for no reasons the USGA prides itself on creating the toughest test possible for the worlds best players. A course playing this tough reflects the talent of the players in the field. The best in the game are fair game to face a challenge like these set ups - everybody plays the same course so it still reflects the talent in the end.

This was the toughest tournament I ever watched on TV
That driver swing on #18 was a thing of beauty. The flexibility, speed, balance... wow
Just short of a 667 yard par 5 with a 390 yard drive, how I miss this tiger. He was so good it was ridiculous.
meanwhile he made par lol.
live for these vids my guy
Thanks, Ant! Appreciate you watching!
Lee Trevino once said that Oakmont could hold a US Open on a normal members day…it’s that difficult. The 63 Miller shot is just that more amazing
Christ, that was a brutal course set-up
He should’ve won this one for sure .
The putt on 13 screwed him :/
@@phukyew14 double bogey on 3 killed him more.
@@phukyew14Bunker shot on 17 wasn’t pretty either
Peak tiger physique here
playing at oakmont seems like an utterly miserable experience but makes for an ideal championship
I like oakmont it’s just tough with the high roughs and very slow greens
@@jordanboteler8978 yeah oakmont is known for its notoriously slow greens 😂
I disagree. It’s tough but fair

@@alexanderjefferies7740 yep. I agree.
Tiger Haney swing >>>
You missed a chuckle Johnny Miller gave out when Tiger drove it into the rough on 18 thereby preserving Johnny's record of 18 hit fairways and greens
Thanks for the upload!

Without a doubt his best year. Amazing swing under haney
Kidding me?
JT er no I’m guessing your going be a tube and say 2000 with horrendous strain on his lumbar spine. Go on be like the casuals

Damn that felt intense!
For any one who didn’t know, Tiger was runner-up in this tournament, one stroke behind the winner at 5 over par.
@@giftzulu8156 You are wrong, Furyk and Woods finished tied for second at 6 over and Angel Cabrera won at 5 over.
@@giftzulu8156 Yeah right, shut up will you.
The US open he should have won. Angel Cabrera played out of his mind.
Fun fact: The winner just got out of Prison this year.
If possible could you do 05 British next? Can't find it anywhere on youtube
Thank you for the uploads!
Thanks for watching, Karim!
love this channel!
Love this this player tiger word daly love
I woulda shot 120 on that day. Oakmont was bruuutal

Love the videos but the sound needs work
His last tournament before becoming a father
That we know of.....
Hit it it like a hack that final day, tough to watch
Do you have the third round by any chance?
Where is holes 10 And 11.
That club twirl on 18
Woods really missed chance to win this tournament on Saturday. He was off his normal game with the putter and turned a 64 or 65 into a 69.
The short miss on 13 cost him.

Could you sync the sound up better
The best swings Cabrera made were not on the golf course that week. Just ask his wife and girlfriend.
How many chicks did Tiger have in 2007? 😂

These guys are way too good to not he challenged..majors should be like this instead of guys being -10..makes for a boring tournament

Dude. It’s the US Open. It’s supposed to be unrelenting. The US Open is about grinding. It’s a mental test more than anything for those guys.
