Watching him be able to do that, get back on top of the mountain, it’s just so cool.”— Ry April 14, 2019The 23-time Olympic gold medalist didn’t go unnoticed on the 16th hole Sunday.
Even though Woods’ focus was solely on his game Sunday, Phelps is pretty sure the 15-time major winner knew he was at the event.“I think he knew I was there because I was standing when he walked out of the clubhouse , and it looked like somebody said something to him about it, like one of the guys walking out with him,” Phelps told NBC Sports.
