Everyone knows that when leading a Major going into the last round Tiger Woods wins, don’t they? Well someone must have forgotten to tell YE Yang! He trailed Woods by two shots going into the final round of the 2009 PGA Championship at Hazeltine National GC, caught him by the turn, and was tied with five holes to play. It looked as though nerves were getting the better of him when he three-putted for bogey at the 17th but he produced the shot of his life down eighteen. From a lie in the semi on the left side of the fairway he needed to fly a tree and bunker to get at the flag, his 3-iron hybrid cleared a bunker and settled 12 feet away closing out a victory making him the first Asian born male player to win a Major.

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.
