The 100 Greatest Golf Shots Of All Time

Not a bad list compiled by the fine folks over at Zipgolfer Dot Com. As with any list I disagree with the ranking of a few of them, but I wouldn't envy the task of putting it together in the first place.

Here are a few of my favorites:

85. Woody Austin - From Water


I wish the results of the shot would've been shown, because if my memory is correct, the shot was a success. Nevertheless, as any golfer knows, it's hard enough to hit good shots when the ball is on the ground - let alone submerged under water.

81. Shaun Micheel hitting what is still one of the best high-pressure golf shots of all time - and on the 72nd hole of a major, to win: the 2003 PGA Championship.

78. Fred Couples wins the 1996 Players' Championship.


Freddie's one of my idols. The memory of this tournament's finish is one of my favorite memories.

71. A miraculous par save from nasty trouble at 2008's Colonial by Phil Mickelson.

69. Costantino Rocca's miracle - 1995 British Open at St. Andrews.

66. Corey Pavin's 4-Wood 2nd shot at the 72nd hole of the 1995 US Open at Shinnecock Hills.

59. Ben Crenshaw's 60-foot putt at #10 during the 1984 Masters. When listing the best putters ever to grace the game of golf, no one's top-5 is without gentle Ben.

51. Paul Azinger's sand shot at Muirfield Village #18 to win the 1993 Memorial.


35. Jack Nicklaus' 16th tee shot at the 1986 Masters, which he won at the age of 46.

32. Payne Stewart's US Open-winning putt in 1999 was huge! So sad Payne died in a plane crash later that year. His legacy lives on!

25. Jack Nicklaus' putt on #17 in the 1986 Masters. Surely you've seen the highlight by now.


5. Tiger's incredible chip at #16 in the 2005 Masters should be #2.
