Their ovation for Tiger Woods poured in from two grandstands and one road and achieved a status that ovations seldom do: sustained.
They kept it going as fate and a tee time put Rory McIlroy over at the No. 1 tee right then, and McIlroy tipped his cap.They wondered about the British Open rota and when Saint Andrews might get another turn and whether that turn would come soon enough to include Woods after his four knee surgeries, five back surgeries and the harrowing car crash of February 2021 that shattered bones in his right leg and ankle.
Then they all whacked and got going and walked right into the sentiment. They walked toward the backdrop with the R&A clubhouse and the Hamilton Grand tucked in back, the row of stone buildings on the right side. They walked toward the famed little Swilcan Bridge, the stone testament to simplicity that gets grouchy golfers crying.
Seventeen years had gone since the Friday when Jack Nicklaus closed his British Opens here while a 29-year-old Woods played four holes behind and heard the roars, already with a lead he took after nine holes and would keep for the closing 63. Nicklaus reached the bridge at age 65, gave a thumbs-up to the crowd at the right, went up, put his left foot on the side for a moment, waved toward the audience.Besides, the parallel was inexact.
