Top 10 shots on the PGA tour in 2011

Some fantastic shots thee, the divot shot had to be hit so cleanly that on the slow mo he was perfect, millimetres from thinning it.
I think Rory's shot (6i) on the 10th at congressional was brilliant too, with his crumble on the 10th at Augusta that tee shot into a few inches was really telling about how strong his game was that week and that history wasn't going to repeat.

There's not one really special shot in there at all - good shots, yes, but no great ones.

I still can't believe that DA Points one is there as well - he brings a wedge up at least 15 yards shorts, takes a lucky bounce off the downslope and rolls in :confused:

Loved watching Bubba's effort though!
 
I can't see the video (computer issue)

If it's not on there I'd like to have seen Jimanez's 3 wood approach to, I think the 16th, at the Andalucia Masters this year.

Over water to about 10ft..... Sublime.

Think there have been better shots on the Euoropean tour this year including the one you mention.

Really? How can you not call the up and down out of the lake to win $10m special lol - Id like to see you spin it out of a half submerged lie! Strickers is a top shot too as was the one of the side of the bunker with feet way below the ball. Only disappointment for me is none of the top 10 were "seve-esque" escapes from the woods

I can't believe he was trying anything more than to get on the green - the result was a bonus. Not saying I could do it mind!

I guess my first reaction after watching the shots was - is that it?

There was a shot Rory played this year from heavy rough, over a tree with a 30 yard hook on it, landing on the green with a tight pin.......now that made me go 'wow'

I don't have Sky at home and have just watched this (okay, I had seen a few of them before), but can honestly say that "is that it?" would be some considerable distance from my reaction!

The Stricker, Watson and Marino shots are unbelievable - only minor questionmark for me would be Donald's putt which is perhaps more in the context of 6 in a row than the actual putt itself.

Stricker's wins it for me - hanging lie in a trap having to bend the ball through the air without over-hooking it into the water... not one readily available in the Ellwood repertoire!
 
Agree with the Donald putt, not exactly a bigger breaker. Strickers missed the green though Jezz.:confused: Only joking a really great shot.

Also agree with Brendy that Rory's to the 10th at the US Open on the last day was worth including. Once that hit the green you knew he would win.

Just what I thought when seeing it.


What about Rory McIlroy's 4 iron on one of the days at the US open. Over 200 yards to within 20 feet?

Watson,Marino, Stricker and Hass....great shots,take your pick.

I remember watching Strickers shot and being amazed he wasn't going to chop out and try for the up and down for play off,thought he was bringing 6 into the equation!
