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.

Blue Monster?!

How is Craig Parry holing out from the fairway at the Blue Monster to win the playoff in 2004 not on this list?
