What happened at the 2000 PGA Championship

After Bob May's 18-foot birdie on the 72nd hole, Woods holed "a knee-knocking downhill six-footer" to force the first 3-hole aggregate playoff in PGA history.

Woods chased his 20-foot birdie putt into the cup on the first playoff hole, the 16th, en route to a second straight PGA and his third major of 2000.
