Jose Maria Olazabal
2005 British Open, Old Course at St. Andrews
Started: Two behind Woods
Finished: Tied for third
after a 74
Woods' score: 70
Key stat: Woods had only
one three-putt all week, on
the 12th hole Friday, but he'd
driven the green so he made
par anyway.
Where it all went
wrong: Olazabal trailed by
only two strokes after 11,
but a bogey on 12 ended
his chances.
Telling comment: "It's
hard but I don't think it's
impossible," Olazabal said of
catching Woods. "But it's
close to impossible."
