Profiling Dragon Skin grips without referencing Harry Potter and the fire-breathing reptilian beasts Harry, Hermione and Ron encounter during their epic Hogwarts adventures?  

C’mon.  Potter guy here.

Tiger Woods' chip-in at the 2005 Masters is one of the most iconic and memorable shots in the history of golf. Here are some details about that remarkable moment:

During the final round of the 2005 Masters Tournament, Tiger Woods was locked in a tight battle with fellow golfer Chris DiMarco. On the 16th hole, known as "Redbud," Woods hit his tee shot to the back left of the green, leaving himself a challenging downhill chip shot with little room for error.

Facing a delicate shot, Woods had to navigate the steep slope and precise distance control to get the ball close to the hole. With the weight of the tournament on his shoulders, Woods struck the ball cleanly, sending it rolling down the slope towards the hole.

As the ball approached the cup, it appeared to be running too fast, but to the amazement of the crowd and viewers around the world, it hit the flagstick and dramatically dropped into the hole. The moment was met with an eruption of cheers and applause from the spectators.

Woods celebrated the chip-in with a triumphant fist pump and a roar of excitement. The shot gave him a crucial birdie, propelling him into a two-shot lead over DiMarco with just two holes to play. Woods held on to win the tournament, securing his fourth Green Jacket and adding to his growing list of major championships.
