10. Hunter Mahan's Cracked Driver

In February during the final round of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, Hunter Mahan discovered a crack in his Ping Rapture V2 driver on the second hole, setting off a chain of events that eventually led to his girlfriend, Kandi Harris, scurrying to their car to retrieve a backup.

"I got it before the next tee shot, which was nice, because the next hole was a par 5," said Mahan, who didn't birdie that hole but used the backup to record four birdies and an eagle en route to a closing 65 and the win.
