PGA Championship 2018: Tiger Woods' remarkable final round, in pictures
![PGA Championship - Final Round during the final round of the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club on August 12, 2018 in St Louis, Missouri.](http://golfdigest.sports.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/golfdigest/fullset/2018/08/12/5b70c6e188160c0bfca6554b_9th_1.JPG.rend.hgtvcom.966.644.suffix/1573247155382.jpeg)
History will show that Tiger Woods was the second-best player at Bellerive. But in terms of electricity, drama, emotion, you name it, not even Brooks Koepka could rival the 42-year-old Woods. A round that began with Woods four strokes off the lead saw him shoot 32 on the front nine without hitting a fairway, pull within a shot at one point, and ended with a birdie for 64 and a rousing ovation from an adoring St. Louis crowd. Even compared to his 14 major titles, it's hard to think of a round that had more, as these photos from the day underscore. —Sam Weinman
After a disappointing par to start the round, Woods made his first birdie of the day on the second hole.

Richard Heathcote
Incredibly, Woods didn't hit a single fairway on the front nine. Here he is on 5, where he managed to recover and make par.

Richard Heathcote
He looked to add another on the short par-4 11th, but his birdie attempt improbably hung on the lip.

Richard Heathcote
Woods' seemed to lose momentum after his bogey on 14, but his iron game was stellar from the fairway, and he summoned another brilliant approach.
