| Posted By: Al Richardson Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 671 | Another Entry? I may be looking at this differently than others. I am looking at the shot on it's own merits, not necessarily the end result that the shot contributed to. My entry would be: Tiger Woods, Canadian Open (1999, I think). He's in a fairway bunker, his feet are against the lip so he's standing a foot closer to the ball than he wants. He hits a six iron, 210 yards over a lake, puts it on the fringe, ten feet from the hole. Yeah, it wasn't a major or another "big" tournament but he did go on to win the tournament and the shot itself was absolutely amazing. |

| Posted By: From the Editor Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 326 | Thanks for the great comments Regarding the Tiger entries - one of the reasons we gave him two shots was that the 2008 putt (and it's not the only one of course) was definitely do-or-die. We could have just as easily selected the putt at Valhalla to tie Bob May. But the chip-in on No. 16 (and his reaction) will forever be remembered as one of the most exciting shots of all time. Palmer's drive on No. 1 at Cherry Hills, similarly, didn't win the tournament but it set the tone for an Arnie "charge." that did. As for the Hogan shot, that's a big gaffe on our part and thanks to Mr. Everett, for pointing that out. Thanks to everyone for participating and having a little fun. |
| Posted By: COz Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 330 | You are crazy Tiger didn't win Master with chip in on 16th in 2005. It was make or go home in 2008. Shouldn't The GREATEST golf shot of all time be a do or die? ps if you asked him he would agree |
| Posted By: Bill Barnes Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 300 | Mize shot at Augusta Larry beat the two best players in the world at the time and if he missed the shot he could have hit it in the water. A finese shot like that is much harder than a full swing.... |
| Posted By: Carl Everett Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 302 | Hogan shot at Merion He did not hit it to 6 feet; he got it on the green about 40 feet away. He had to make a 4 footer for par to get in the playoff. |
| Posted By: Alan Posted On: Sep 28, 2011 Views: 262 | Greatest Shot The one you did not post in the poll was the Tiger Woods 6 iron from the bunker over water in the Canadien Open |
