Watch: Doug Ghim has ‘better than most’ moment on 17, celebrates with Tiger-like fist pump
Tiger Woods sinking the long birdie putt on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass gave us one of the best golf calls of all-time, courtesy of Gary Koch.
“Better than most,” is what Koch said as Woods drilled a triple-breaking, 60-foot putt for birdie on the famous island green.
Well, on Saturday during the 2024 Players Championship, Doug Ghim had his own “better than most” moment.
With the pin on the front left of the green and Ghim’s ball on the back edge, he hit a chip shot that landed on top of the slope before gaining speed and going toward the cup. And of course, it went in.
The celebration was a Tiger-esque fist pump, and it was shades of what Woods did in the third round of the 2001 Players.
