where Garcia left, Woods picked up from there. Although Sergio Garcia won the championship by one stroke, Tiger made big shots when it counted the most and held his charging, enthusiastic opponent, off the edge.
No.8 - 2000 U.S. Open

110 putts in 72 holes with an average of 1.5 per hole. To date, Tiger’s mastery at the 2000 U.S. Open is the largest margin of victory in a Major.
