On April 10, 2005, Tiger Woods<\/a> made one of the most incredible shots in the storied history of The Masters<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In pursuit of his first major championship in more than two years and also looking to match the four green jackets won by Arnold Palmer<\/a> at Augusta National, Woods found himself in an incredible duel down the stretch with the gritty Chris DiMarco, who was looking to win his first major title. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather played a significant role at The Masters in 2005. Heavy rain on Thursday morning caused a five-hour delay and left 68 players needing to finish their first round on Friday after play was suspended due to darkness. More rain on Friday caused the majority of second-round play to spill into Saturday. The leaders only got about half of their third round in on Saturday, setting up a dramatic Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DiMarco held a four-shot lead on Tiger when he went to bed on Saturday night. But by the end of the third round on Sunday morning, he was down three. Between Saturday and Sunday, Woods had strung together seven consecutive birdies and shot a 7-under round of 65. At that point in time, a three-shot lead for Tiger Woods heading into the final round of a major championship was essentially already a victory. But DiMarco continued to fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After both birdied the ninth, Tiger still led by three shots heading to the back nine, but a bogey from Woods at the 10th dropped his lead to two. DiMarco birdied the 11th to cut the lead to one, and the battle was on. DiMarco dropped a shot at the 12th but got it back at the 14th. Both birdied the par-5 15th, and Tiger's lead was still one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happened at the par-3 16th became an instant legendary tale in the career of Tiger Woods. But while the 16th was incredible, it's only part of the story that was the 2005 edition of The Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
