| 2002 PGA Championship | |
Tiger Woods made one of his best Sunday charges in a major at the 2002 PGA Championship, birdying the final four holes in a role at Hazeltine National Golf Club.
Only one problem: It wasn't enough.
Beem began his own march to victory with an eagle on the par-5 11th, the only eagle on that hole in the entire championship. That came with Woods just one stroke behind, giving Beem a nice cushion on the back nine. Down the stretch, with Woods draining his string of birdies, Beem holed a 35-foot birdie putt on the 16th to keep himself on top.
Beem bogied the final hole, but it didn't matter: He had a 1-stroke victory over Woods. The indelible image is of Beem raising his arms after the final putt went in, then shaking his hips in a brief but joyous celebration dance.
