In the summer of 1996, Steve Scott faced off against Tiger Woods in the finals of the United States Amateur Championship at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. After a grueling match, Scott found himself leading by five strokes after the first 18 holes. However, at hole 35, Woods made an incredible birdie putt, bringing the score back to within one stroke. As the final hole approached, the difference in the outcome was determined by a moral act of kindness from Scott.

On hole 34, Scott noticed that Woods had accidentally moved his ball marker slightly, which could have resulted in a penalty for Woods. Instead of letting the mistake go unnoticed, Scott reminded Woods to move his marker back to its correct position. This act of sportsmanship ultimately saved Woods from a penalty and allowed him to win three consecutive U.S. Amateur Championships, a feat that had never been accomplished before by any golfer, including legends like Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones.

The 1996 U.S. Amateur Championship was a turning point in Tiger Woods' career, as it marked the beginning of his dominance in golf.
