Sergio Garcia – #16 Medina CC – 1999 PGA Championship
What do you do when your golf ball is stuck up against a tree? Close your eyes and have a wild slash at it hoping to make a decent contact without breaking your club and/or wrist? Of course you do! Particularly if your name is Sergio Garcia and you’re chasing Tiger Woods down the stretch in the 1999 PGA Championship at Medinah CC. This fantastic golf shot really shot Garcia to prominence, the tree in question was on the sixteenth hole and Sergio’s slashing, eyes shut, open faced six iron shot is a classic. What makes it all the more memorable is his exuberant scampering after the ball, running and jumping to see the result of his ball making the green and then laughing with the gallery about closing his eyes.
