Woods: 3-iron from 2002 PGA was 'greatest feeling shot I've ever hit'

Tiger Woods has hit a number of great golf shots in his career, but one swing separates itself from the rest.

It happened in the second round of the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine to conclude his round.

Woods' drive on the par-4 18th finished in the left fairway bunker, but instead of the ball rolling back into the middle of the trap, it hung up on the lip.

"That was the greatest feeling shot I've ever hit in my life," Woods recently told Shane O'Donoghue of CNN's Living Golf.

What made the shot so difficult to execute were the windy conditions that swept through Chaska, Minn., area that Saturday morning.

"The wind was blowing about 25-30 mph off the left," added the 41-year-old. "The lip was in front of me, trees were in front of me ... downhill lie and somehow I hit it - I don't know how I hit it that solid, that clean, that flush and drew it up against the wind and held it, landed about 20-feet away."

Woods wasn't the only one impressed with the result, but also playing partner Ernie Els, who gave him the middle finger.

"He's giving me the universal sign for I'm No. 1 in his heart."

Woods would make the putt for birdie, but would lose by one to Rich Beem the next day.
