Torrey Pines boasts a long pedigree of hosting professional golf, including the dramatic 2008 U.S. Open. Playing with a leg injury, Tiger Woods holed a 12-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to force an 18-hole playoff with Rocco Mediate. Woods again birdied the 18th hole the following day to tie Mediate, and he won in 19 holes for his third U.S. Open title and 14th major championship.
