Every elite golf fan remembers the most iconic moment of the Presidents Cup during the 2007 edition. Don’t know what we are talking about? Woody Austin’s infamous moment at the 2007 Presidents Cup still brings laughter to golf fans worldwide, and for good reason.
The incident at Royal Montreal Golf Club’s 14th hole witnessed Austin trying to hit his ball, which was submerged in a greenside pond and, well, it exactly ended how you think it would’ve. The golfer lost his balance and fell face-first into the water.
This priceless blooper has become iconic in Presidents Cup history. One would think the golfer backed off after his well-known fall into the water. But no. Austin took the defeat as a chance to show his sense of humor by wearing scuba goggles on the next tee. That was precisely when the ‘Aquaman’ was born. However, despite being a newcomer to the Presidents Cup at 43, Austin played well and earned 2.5 points, which helped Team USA secure the trophy.
