All Square: Tiger Woods, Steve Scott and the 1996 U.S. Amateur

GOLF Films presents the epic story of the 1996 U.S. Amateur final between Tiger Woods and Steve Scott.

[@pinkbeavers]

Steve scott really won in life for real. This man has a real one by his side. Worth more than anyone can imagine

[@Dreama40]

Steve Scott - "You can win in life, without winning", i love that!

[@michaelsmith5894]

Thats what losers say... lol

[@KruPreng]

Hello darkness my old friend

[@come2morrow368]

"You can win in life without winning!" Is an awesome and very true statement from Scott. Truly shows he has no regrets concerning the game against Woods and his short career on the PGA Tour.

[@ahol9120]

Steve reminding Tiger to put his mark back to its original spot is one of the top 5 acts of sportsmanship I've ever seen. Wonder how many guys would have let him play from wrong spot and took the AM title.

[@richdiana3663]

Eventually Tiger left his mark on alot of waitresses.

[@winstonsmith11]

Probably not many. Golf is a gentleman's game. It's why I love it so much. As Steve said, win the match with your clubs. Anyone who'd handle that any differently is missing out on what golf is all about.

[@jackvanderpool3417]

Seve would of, and nobody asked him, but Tiger might have.

[@KevinBostwick]

Tiger definitely wouldn't have done that.

[@ricky100593]

Literally anyone who knows anything about golf would have told him

[@feiwong70]

“You can win in life without winning” - Steve Scott. Wow, what a great quote! I’ll remember this.

[@JohnSmith-en8vx]

Kudos to Steve Scott. His epic sportsmanship that day made him a champion even without the trophy.

[@TextlefSchrempf]

John Smith What do you mean? He got the ultimate trophy. His wife.

[@TroySan1985]

Yes he's great. A formidable opponent but yes, good sportsmanship.

[@SiLoMixMaster]

@@TextlefSchrempf Nah I'd rather have the US amateur trophy lol, 50% of marriages end in divorce then she'll take the money and kids, but that trophy would never let you down lol

[@chrisdahl6262]

I’m really happy to see that they lasted as a couple and have a beautiful family to show for it. Steve’s perspective about the whole thing is perfect and I admire that he didn’t let that moment in time define him.

[@alexgreen1823]

That moment does define him, but in a positive way. Could you imagine going toe-to-toe with someone so talented that he's compared to the likes of Mozart and Bill Gates

I'm glad the Scotts have been together after all these years...can't say much for Tiger's marriage..

[@mysteryz6521]

Came into this wanting to watch another Tiger story, came out absolutely in love with Steve and Kristi's story. So much respect for them.

Same!

Same here

[@jamesroboyle]

Without a doubt.🎉

[@joshwest1399]

never knew Steve Scott but now I'm a fan. he's a good guy.

[@MrRobVision]

Steve Scott, you are a true gentleman and a great competitor. You define sportsmanship, honesty, resilience, and all the qualities we strive for in golf and in life. Your defining moment was being a true competitor and gentleman and telling tiger about his marker, proving golf is a gentleman's game. being remembered as a gentleman is pretty damn good. See you in the short grass, brother.

[@xman9190]

Kristy, Steve's wife, is the star of this story. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@hawjsta]

She's the real MVP

[@kdusna84]

I remember watching this U.S. Amateur Final. Steve Scott was one cool customer, and he battled Woods all the way to the end. This mini-documentary did a nice job of capturing the feel of that match from the perspective of both competitors. And it really is cool to see that Scott has gone on to have a happy and successful life, both professionally and personally. Equally great to see that Kristy has been at his side the whole time.

[@stevewilloughby1042]

In the final analysis, winning is a matter of perspective. Mr.Scott’s perspective has allowed him to have a beautiful family. Winner you are, Sir!

[@calvinclark6758]

Fame or Fortune💬

[@andrewtan5442]

I think this documentary allowed him both

[@cebukid70]

Scott was and is a true gentleman. I'm glad that he and his GF stayed together. She aged really well too. What a hottie!

[@benkizer9509]

Steve Scott and his wife are both class acts. What a great couple.

[@laman8914]

Great story for the history of golf. Great sportsmanship.

[@nicknick7824]

Nice vid thanks for the upload and thank steve and tiger for the battle and to mention the marker is great sportsmanship win with the clubs not the rules. Real gentlemen’s game 👍🏻

[@cr8iveamboy775]

Wow beautiful story.. hats off to you and yours Steve & Kristi

[@AnandVijay76]

Steve is a true gentleman. I'd love to see him for a golf lesson some time in the near future. The ball marker episode just catapulted his image in my head 1000 X. What an amazing guy!!!

[@KenHollowayshow]

I read about your story last night and watched this video today. Very moving. I am so happy for you both. You're married, have a family, and a career in golf. I think that's as good as it gets. Congratulations. Sometimes young love lasts and burns forever, but it seems most of the time it doesn't work out that way.

[@Sell865com]

This is wonderful. A powerful lesson.

[@sonyyoung1036]

Steve Scott has integrity and is a great example to all people. He did not have to remind Woods to move his marker back. So much was on the line and Steve did the right thing.

[@doakmasarik9862]

One of the greatest matches I’ve ever seen.

[@jackvanderpool3417]

Great story. "I WAS PLAYING TIGER WOODS" Chris DeMarco, Rocco Mediate and MANY other pros have uttered the same Lament. "I WAS PLAYING TIGER WOODS.

[@SureshSingh-iz5bg]

Having seen this video i have the greatest respect for Steve - what a great sportsmanship at such an early age - great stuff. All the best Steve 👍

[@11Educate]

One hell of a story, well done Steve Scott...

[@scottz2066]

Awesome story!.. Great job!!! True sportsman. God bless!!!

[@jakeedwards7585]

This was an amazing video great story

[@captpicard6894]

You could argue that Tiger might have won at Golf, but Steve Scott with a beautiful, supportive, loving Wife by his side giving him 2 great kids might be the real winner at Life.

[@TJ89741]

I think Tiger has won at life too. Did you see him with his son Charlie at the PNC Classic ? Tiger’s also a loving father to his 2 children as well.

[@Tlhakxza]

Steve,your sportsmanship goes beyond all the beautiful shots I’ve seen TW play(I am an ardent TW fan) indeed you won in life and after watching this video, I hope and wish that GOD blesses you by making your son an incredible golf champ(if he takes up golf) and win as many tournaments as TW has won. Maybe even go head to head with TW’s son Charlie and both become the then BIG 3 along with JOHN DALY’s son...who knows,GOD works in mysterious ways. By the way I came here after reading about your story from COLIN MONTGOMERY’s #MONTY Autobiography. 🇿🇦✌🏿

[@gtfan998]

As many have already stated Steve Scott reminding Tiger Woods to put his marker back is so F**cking AWSUM that's why I play golf that's why we all truly love golf

[@jichengjeff]

sportsmanship - this is a great story that I need to tell my 7 years old son, if he ever wonders what is the most important thing in life

[@bman342a]

I remember watching the Sunday rounds. I didn't expect that the best part of this video was Scott telling Tiger to re-place his ball, and Scott's wife breaking down in tears.

[@TJ89741]

Love what Steve says by “ I want to win the match with my clubs not on a rule technicality “. That’s true sportsmanship

And right after this tournament Tiger Woods and his Caddy (or friend) went to pizza hut in Sellwood, Or (little community in Portland, Or) where I rung up 7 large pizzas for him. If I would have only saved the receipt slip....Dang Phil..lol (that was my manager at the time...

[@wittenberg5]

"Anybody can be a husband or a father, but there are only five people in the world who can do what I do, so I focus on that." - James Cameron. Steve is just another average Joe with a house a wife and a dog. Tiger is unique. He's set himself for life, broken dozens of records, earned a spot in history and most importantly he didn't just follow the same generic life formula people like you swear by. He blazed his own trail. I'll take Tiger's life any day.

[@goaliebros]

Tom Smith enjoy a life of regret when you’re 70 and retired, alone in your mansion with no wife, explaining to your kids why you can’t have Christmas together. But hey at least you got those green jackets.

[@myronalexander3054]

@@goaliebros that'd actually make a lovely retirement. Who needs a wife when you got Green Jackets !

[@wittenberg5]

You talk a lot about mansions and trophies and Christmas with the kids. You don't understand what it is all about. How many of us know what it is to become the best version of ourselves at something? Tiger Woods did that. He stood to his fullest height and achieved his greatest potential, he charted his own path and wrote his name in history. That's worth far more than making a baby. News flash: even cows, roaches and flies can reproduce! What separates humans is our imagination, but there is nothing imaginative about living an ordinary life. None of this will register with you though. You'll keep patterning your life and behavior off of everyone else. So go ahead. Enjoy your cookie cutter life. And don't forget to pick up the milk on the way home from work!

[@dorsmap]

That's the great thing about golf, its a gentleman's game. You don't try to be sneaky and do whatever it takes to win. You tell someone if they forgot to put their mark back because it's the right thing to do. I also tell my buddies that they actually got a double when they tell me they got a bogey ;)

[@Golfzilla70]

After reading the Tiger biography that came out last year, it looks like Scott may have lost the battle but won the war. I wholeheartedly agree Tiger is the greatest golfer ever, but what it took to make him that way is something i wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

[@ericknopik2852]

Steve Scott is an absolute class act. He played his heart out and just got beat by Tiger. This was a match for the ages.

[@TJ89741]

Exactly Steve Didn’t lose this match. Tiger flat out beat him, Steve didn’t choke he just got Outplayed but he gave it everything he had and gave the GOAT everything he could handle. In my mind the best US AM match of all time.

[@jimmcgregor6253]
