During the third round at The Players Championship, one of the greatest shots of Woods' career was celebrated at the par 3 No. 17.
At the 2001 Players, Woods hit an unbelievable 60-foot triple-breaker from the fringe of the island green. The putt became an instant classic thanks in large part to the call of Gary Koch.
"It's better than most," Koch said as Woods' putt rolled through its first break. "Better than most... Better than most!"
