Tiger Woods - Final Round in full | The Open at Royal Liverpool 2006

Tiger Woods provided an imperious display of strategic links golf to mark the return of Hoylake as host of The Open for the first time in 39 years.

He led from Friday morning onwards but never ran away from the field. Sergio Garcia had a 65, including an eagle two at the second, to join DiMarco and Els just one adrift with a round to play.

It was DiMarco, just as at the 2005 Masters, who pushed Woods hardest in the final round and it took three birdies in a row from the 14th for Woods to finally shake off his compatriot.

A closing 67 gave him a two-stroke victory, with Els third and Garcia dropping to joint-fifth. Woods, the first Champion to defend successfully since Tom Watson in 1983, showed his emotions on the 18th green. His father, Earl, had died two months earlier.

a superb display of course management for anyone wanting to improve their own game. So much of the pro golf game is focused on the power game and driving distance, Tigers game planning here was just perfect. So many of us amateurs can learn a lot from this.

Thank you for helping me catch up on all the history I missed by becoming a golf fan only recently. I could watch these 24/7.

This is one if not my favorite tournament for Tiger. He knows his lead, he knows and understand his competitors, he knows what the course will yield, and he knows his limitations. He hit the ball like Ben Hogan and putted like Ben Crenshaw.

Tiger coming out on the 1st tee looking like a boss, meanwhile Garcia looks like big bird from Sesame Street.

After watching this, I decided to play course management on my local course and shot under 80 for my first time ever!

I hope Chris DiMarco will be remembered for the many majors he played so well in, during this time. No trophies to show, but so many admirable efforts.

Tiger is ALWAYS POLITE, NEVER TALKS DOWN AT OR AGAINST ANY PLAYER/S, just criticises his own game, never anybody's despite some commentators and some players shooting verbal arrows at him! Great respect to him! Bravo Tiger!!

Tiger Woods -you are a special person who make an impact in people's lives around the world.

I watched this championship from start to finish. It was the greatest sporting experience I've ever witnessed. Tiger became the greatest ever when he let loose at the 18th!!! God bless Earl Woods!

[Mikeandmikeify]

Personally, this was Tiger at his best. Power, shot shaping ability, accuracy, poise, mental toughness, course management. Along with experience in Tour, Tiger was peaked in 2006.

His after party at the club that night must have been legendary

The greatest display of irons you will ever see

[leroyrodgers]

This might be one of Tigers more underrated performances.

[C.Adams]

I remember watching this, some of the best ball striking by a player ever when you consider the number of long and mid irons into the greens that tiger hit. And I don't know if I've ever seen an event where players had a more difficult time with the gallery. Constantly having to ask them to put their phones down. I know these guys are in the spot light and public figures but they are also at work, no one would like for someone to come their job and start snapping pictures while your trying to focus on what you do

Show the score more frequent would be worthwhile...

[drmorcoch]

sergios moment to shine and couldn't get his putting together

[huongta]

Tiger woods dad pass away in May this year and he miss the cut at the US open.That is why you see all the emotion came out at the 18 hole.

Ernie saying "I don't give a shit" when Dimarco realized he didn't have the honors and gave Ernie the tee box is amazing hahaha 3:24:32
