Amazing Amy: Meet Gary Woodland's U.S. Open inspiration
PHOENIX -- Gary Woodland could hear the words of his friend, Amy Bockerstette, as he stood over the chip shot on the 17th hole that helped propel him to winning the U.S. Open.
"You've got this."
That's her mantra on the course, and it became his on that shot Sunday at Pebble Beach.
By now, more than 9.6 million people have watched what happened when Bockerstette, who has Down syndrome, played -- and parred -- a hole with Woodland in a practice round during the Waste Management Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale in late January.
"Amy ... you're our hero."
