Watch Sahith Theegala recreate iconic Tiger Woods Masters moment!
Sahith Theegala pulled off a Tiger Woods at the 2023 Masters, chipping in on the 16th hole for a birdie two!
It's a moment we all remember fondly: Tiger Woods at the 2005 Masters.
Earlier in the week, the big cat, 47, revealed why he didn't like re-watching that iconic chip-in on the way to collecting his fourth green jacket.
Long story short, Woods hit his 8-iron way left and then holed out moments later. The then 29-year-old went ballistic with Steve Williams.
But looking back he was absolutely disgusted as to how he could miss the 16th green at Augusta National so badly with a short iron in hand.
Sahith Theegala has previously spoken of how Woods has inspired him. I mean, who hasn't Woods inspired from this generation?
So this moment will be pretty special for the 25-year-old. He was already 5-under for the day, and forced himself into contention at the 2023 Masters.
But at No. 16 he sent his tee shot sailing over the green long and left into a group of patrons.
Not to worry. He probably had Woods in the back of the mind when he stepped up to this one.
