It was an emotional scene on Friday afternoon at St. Andrews.
Tiger Woods, in what was perhaps his final competitive round at the Old Course, crossed the Swilcan Bridge and made one of the most famous walks in golf — and the fans showered him in praise. The three-time Open champion admitted after the round that he was not sure if he’d ever make it back to compete at St. Andrews, making it all the more clear that this was a special moment.
A missed cut was certainly not what he had in mind this week at the Open, but that walk up 18 will still make this week one to remember.
