Woodland notched a $2.25-million victory that ranks up there with some of the most impressive in U.S. Open history.
Woodland, the winner of only three PGA Tour events in 244 starts before this tournament, found peace all week as he stared at the water from Pebble’s sandstone cliffs.
Known for most of his career as a big hitter off the tee, Woodland proved to be multiskilled in one of the hardest of tests, even if Pebble Beach did play arguably softer than in any of the previous five U.S. Opens it hosted. “I’ll give [Little] credit. He’s the one that told me to play aggressive,” Woodland said. “I’ve been telling him all week: ‘Let’s play aggressive lines. The game feels good.’ … It was one of the better swings I made all week. Him telling me to do that gave me confidence.”
