What was your favorite shot at the Masters?

What was your favorite shot at the Masters?

I fell asleep early, was working some & kind of paying attention... so I didn't see everything Sunday.
I was camping with my Daughter on Saturday... didn't see a thing.  

The announcers set up the 6th(?) pin location as impossible to get close to - it was too close to the front.
Everyone was left with a downhill putt.

Tiger skys one to the far right side and it rolls down in front of the flag.
That is my kind of architecture.
What was his margin for error there? (I'm assuming it was much larger than the shot at the pin - was it medium or large?)

Did that hole play that way when the greens weren't so fast?

Cheers

Tiger's 3-wood on #8

[Mike Nuzzo]

My favorite shot on 8 was the player(?) who went for the flag aggressively and got a nasty bounce off the first bump - ball runs off the back right of the green.
That was my 2nd favorite shot of the day - perfect opposite of my favorite - both very good architecture.

Cheers

Cabrera from the trees on 1 . . .
a big slinging draw, bump and run up to the middle of the green.

Has to be Schwartzel's hole out from the fairway on #3.  It just catapulted him into the mix and it provided him with his winning margin.

[JMEvensky]

Schwartzel's second at 17--from possible bogey to birdie and a green jacket.

[Michael Wharton-Palmer]

Tigers second shot into 15....perfect, following his superb manufacturing of athe shot into 8 knowing that the only way to that back pin was from the right side of the green...the first signs to me that he may be on his way back.

Tiger's 3-wood on #8

Yeah, Tiger's slinger 3W on 8 and his perfect approach on 15 were pretty fantastic. He also hit a great cut out of the trees on 18 (I think it was 18, it was his last hole of the day) on Friday.

Also, Luke's chip on 18 yesterday after hitting the pin on his approach and getting a bad bounce was pretty cool.

[Will MacEwen]

Angel's approach on #1 was pretty slick because it looked like he was punching out and then he snap hooked it around the tree.  He almost dropped the birdie putt which would have been something.

Tiger's shot on #15 was good, but so was Bo Van Pelt's.  Tiger's drive on #13 looked like a big running draw which was pretty nifty - not always easy to see the flight of the ball. 

Schwartzel's chip in was somewhat unconventional, and I don't know if anything was gutsier than Angel's lob to the hole on #11.

[Phil Benedict]

Pick any one of Tiger's missed short putts.  I enjoyed all of them.

[John Kavanaugh]

The first six shots Rory hit on 10.  I sat there wondering how anyone could be that bad then remembered I shot 36/44 myself just earlier that day.  My favorite camera shots were of Rory's posture after his meltdown.  All I can say for him is that it beats shooting 18% in the NCAA final.

[Matt_Ward]

I'll answer it this way -- give the winner his due -- chip in early and hole out at the 3rd.

For Tiger -- the great drive on #13 was wasted with the approach.

The great approach at #15 was wasted with the missed putt.

Add a positive to the last two situations and things are vastly different.

[JR Potts]

Tiger's 3-W on 8 was unbelievable and absolutely perfect considering the mounding fronting the green.

Tiger's tee shot on 6 was spectacular....especially considering he seemed to be the only one who knew to hit that shot.

And then Luke Donald's bunker shot and subsequent hole-out on 18.  Just awesome.

What other way is there to answer a 100% subjective question?
There is no right or best answer.
And you picked 2 shots.... 


Did Tiger aim away from the flag on 8 and use the bumps to get it closer?

No, he hit a slinger around them and rolled it up the center of the green.  Everyone who tried to play it up and over the mounds rolled over the green.

[Jim Nelson]

Tiger's 2nd shot on 8 was great and I thought showed the old Tiger.  That was my favorite. 

I think the most interesting was his approach on 18.  I mentioned this to a friend, but no one on the telecast mentioned it so I thought I was off base.  He visibly grimaced after his swing.  Others thought it was because he was not pleased with his shot.  Maybe, but going back to my dvr of the telecast, he has a look of an unexpected twing of pain as he suddenly looks down and grits his teeth.  When they come back to him after the ball is on the green, he still has a pained look as he casts his eyes downward.  Am i over-reading this?  Perhaps, but did anyone else notice this?

Schwartzel's second at 17--from possible bogey to birdie and a green jacket.

You beat me to it.

It was fun to see a knockdown shot at ANGC.

At least that's how I saw it.

[Mike Nuzzo]

The best shot I saw was Adam Scott's par put on 17.  That was gut-check time and he drilled it.  Most guys in his shoes in that position miss that putt.  That had post-birdie F up written all over it....

Best or Favorite?

Saw this as well.  I just chalked it up to drama-queening.

Rory's 2nd shot to 15 on Sat. (sweeping draw to left pin position)

[Tony_Chapman]

My favorite was Tiger's on #8 as well, but Schwartzel's chip-in at the first yesterday was unreal; almost a better shot than he hole out on three in my opinion.

I don't think there's any almost about it!

I have always heard that hole referred to as a Redan (and #4 an Eden), but have never seen anything that made me think "Redan" until Tiger's shot Sunday.

I'm with you, that was my favorite shot.

Several of Schwarzel's were probably the best!  Loved that bump and run on #1.

[Gene Greco]

    You didn't specify what year.

Therefore, even though we were pulling hard for the Shark, my wife says the "shot" by CBS of that handsome guy cupping his chin in back of Greg Norman while the final meltdown occured on the 16th tee is her favorite "shot."
