Lee Westwood and Sergio Garcia both made eagle at the short par-4 fifth hole on Friday at The Open, but they took two different approaches.
Westwood found success playing the par 4 in a more conventional fashion, hitting iron off the tee, then hoisting a wedge onto the putting surface. The Englishman watched his ball bounce three times on the green, then track into the hole for an eagle.
Garcia, on the other hand, smashed his driver through the green, but holed a putt from the fringe, moving him to 1-over par for the tournament.
