When he finally did, it was good enough to win a green jacket. Weir needed to make four birdies under the pressure of a Sunday at Augusta National to win the Masters. But it was the gritty way he kept salvaging pars that gave him the chance. Weir saved his two biggest par putts for the final two holes of regulation, including a 6- footer on the 18th hole that was the difference between playing some more or accept ing the silver medal given the runner-up. “I wouldn’t wish that putt on anyone,” Weir said. “That’s as nerve-racking as it gets.” Len Mattiace was already finished at 7-under par and waiting for a possible playoff as Weir carefully looked over the putt on the 18th green before a hushed gallery. He stroked it into the cup, just as he knocked in a 5-foot er for par the hole before to keep his hopes alive. Instead of celebrating, though, he had to walk to the adjacent 10th tee, pull out his driver and go back to work. “It was probably the biggest shot of my life,” Weir said. “It’s one of the most dif ficult things you can have in golf, a putt to tie a major cham pionship.” Six times in the last seven holes, Weir made putts between 4 and 15 feet. Two were for birdies to get in a tie with Mattiace, while the others were for par to keep him tied. The only makeable putt he missed all day was a 10-footer for par on the first playoff hole. By then, it didn’t matter because Mattiace had already made double bogey. “It was just a gut-wrench- ing day,” Weir said. “A lot of comeback putts that I needed to make and was able to make them.” It was different for Weir four years ago when he was paired with Tiger Woods ini? final round of the P Championship, and got an close glimpse at how hard to win a major championsk:; Weir shot 80 that day,la ing Medinah Country Clubs terly disappointed but i eager to learn from the exp ence. “It was a very difficult! for me then, but at thesi time, I did observe howTi: managed his victory tbei Weir said. “And I rement the clutch putt he made on and how he really stayed* his game.” Woods made one bigdi putt on 17 to win his firstPf On Sunday, Weir madether bunches. For the record, he putts on the day. But thesti. tics are as meaningless as ond place in the Masters. “I made literally all putts inside of 8 feet tod; Weir said. “At the PGA year I don’t think I made of them.
