Anyone see bill haas' shot out the water on the 17th in the playoff with mahan... Unbelievable!
 
Epic shot but in reality not particularly tricky for a Tour Pro. He just played a standard bunker shot..

In truth he was very lucky. If the ball had gone another 6 inches into the water he'd have had no shot and would have dropped and probably lost..
 
Quite literally a "splash" shot, I think it was the fact that he got it to check to leave it so close to the pin as he probably wouldn't have been able to judge the lie that well
 
Agree that the execution wasn't too difficult but getting the control and distance was pretty good in the circumstances. I also agree that he got luck and it was a 1 in 100 chance that it stopped as it did. Still you have to take the chances when they come.
