As the final pairing of Retief Goosen and Jason Gore faltered, international qualifier Michael Campbell, of New Zealand, looked to complete an underdog story in the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. Tiger Woods also made a charge.

It's amazing to think that even after winning this tournament Micheal Cambell still was behind Tiger Woods' caddy as the highest paid sportsmen in New Zealand.
This is where Goosen's career never recovered.
I was hoping this would include the Father's Day montage, but it looks like it's been edited out. My dad and I were featured wearing matching shirts and taking bites of our lunch at the same time, which the commentators referred to as "synchronized eating" (you can hear Dan chuckling about it as they come back from break at 2:04:22). We have it recorded on a VHS tape somewhere, and I guess I should look into digitizing it sometime in the near future.
One of 4 majors I can think of where Tiger would have won if the winner didn’t play the round of their life.
1:27:28 Michael C start
they really tried to rattle Goosen in the pre-round interview, huh?
Some crazy facts:
1. Retief Goosen should have won 3 US Opens in five years
2. Jason Gore won 3 Nationwide Events and a PGA Tour Event in 2005. All of those wins came after this US Open
3. Michael Campbell actually won this event
If we could just mute the NBC commentary and keep the crowd noise. Nauseating amount of talking.
Wonder why they have the Open here again just 6 years after 1999?
The drive at 2:26:23 might be the hardest I've ever seen Tiger swing
