One Time With Tiger: Omar Uresti

Omar Uresti was there when Tiger Woods turned the rowdiest hole in golf into the wildest hole-in-one celebration the game has ever seen.

“It was definitely the loudest roar on a golf course that I’ve been a part of,” said Uresti, 48. “They say it rattled the windows on the clubhouse a good 700 yards away.”

Uresti didn’t see Woods’ swing on the 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale on that January day in 1997. He didn’t see ANY of Woods’ full shots that day. His brother Rusty, who also served as his caddie, had advised him not to get caught up watching Woods swing.
