Liverpool Football Club

The return of the Open to the Royal Liverpool Gold Club after a gap of 39 years produced one of the greatest Championships of the modern era with a display of near-flawless shot-making by defending champion Tiger Woods. This film not only tells the story of Tiger’s triumph over the world’s finest players to claim his third Open title and his first Major since the death of his father, but also provides a definitive record of the drama and excitement that surrounded the 135th Open Championship.

Amazon.com Details Tiger Woods's pursuit of an 11th major championship, and his third Claret Jug, is summarized in this 54-minute highlight package of the 2006 British Open at Royal Liverpool. In the wake of the death of his father, Earl, and in his first major since missing the cut at the U.S. Open (his first missed cut at a major), Woods proved not only that he could win the British at a site other than St. Andrews, but that he could win while hardly using his driver. This unlikely strategy paid off in a 18-under-par score that included an amazing eagle on the par-4 14th hole in the second round that even had Woods asking caddy Steve Williams "It went in?" in disbelief. While Sergio Garcia made a third-round run to earn a spot in the final pairing with Woods, the Spaniard collapsed on Sunday and Chris DiMarco, battling his own sadness after the death of his mother, provided the toughest competition down the stretch. But Woods was not to be denied, and his emotional outburst after the final hole was a touching moment. The highlights include the best moments of DiMarco, Garcia, and Ernie Els as well as some off-the-course events (was it really necessary to refer to John Daly as "larger than life"?), but those are all footnotes to watching Woods make history again. --David Horiuchi
