WATCH: Most golf fans would say Tiger Woods' playoff-clinching putt on the 72nd hole of the 2008 U.S. Open is the greatest shot of all time at Torrey Pines. That's because they haven't seen this one-armed ace from Abdul Nevarez. The story behind the shot:
"[Golf] has been great just to keep me motivated and staying busy, because without golf I don't know what else I'd be doing. Golf allows me to go out there and play with my buddies and that's huge therapy right there," Nevarez said.It's Sunday on Torrey North. Nevarez has 145 yards to the pin on the 15th hole, and beyond that, ocean as far as the eye can see. He's got 5 wood in his hands.
He brings the club back with the tempo of a god and keeps the club on plane better than any golfer in the county. Contact is pure. The ball is tracking. Mid flight, his buddy tells him,"That's in the hole, homeboy." You can't see the ball in the video, but the reaction from Nevarez's gallery of family and friends tells you what the ball is doing. A crescendo of excited cheers culminates in a chorus of cheers and wails, and before Nevarez can realize what he's done he's being mobbed by his family and friends on the tee box.
"That's one of the best holes out there at Torrey Pines and that's the one we always look at, because you know, you're elevated and the ocean views -- you can't beat that hole," he said. Nevarez, who's from Antioch in the East Bay Area, was vacationing in San Diego for a friend's birthday. He had his son and wife along with him for the round.
