During the 1999 Phoenix Open, Tiger Woods found his ball in a precarious situation. His drive on the par-5 13th hole had drifted left of the fairway and into the barren desert area outside the fairway. To make matters worse, the ball was directly behind a massive boulder.
Luckily for Woods, he was familiar with the rulebook and knew that any loose impediment — no matter the size — could be moved. So, he enlisted the help of his gallery to push the giant rock out of the way so he could play his shot.
