Angel CabreraNo. 18, Oakmont CC, fourth round, 2007 U.S. OpenAngel CabreraOakmont's 484-yard closer has a testing tee shot: narrow fairway, chip-out bunkers, high rough on both sides. Cabrera was leaking oil, having bogeyed the previous two holes to fall into a tie with Jim Furyk. But the barrel-chested Argentinian took a mighty rip and hit a massive home run to deep center. His 346-yard gem led to a par and the trophy.Honorable mention: Andrew Magee, No. 17, TPC Scottsdale, first round, 2001 Phoenix Open
T.C. ChenNo. 2, Oakland Hills CC (South), first round, 1985 U.S. OpenT.C. ChenJust 20 people watched by the second green as the fifth-to-last group of the day approached. Chen had 256 yards left on the 527-yard par 5. Four bunkers and a stand of maple trees guarded the back-right pin on the two-tiered green. Chen's sizzling spoon hit on or near the front edge, then rolled in for the first double eagle in U.S. Open history.Honorable mention: Phil Mickelson, 17th hole, Muirfield, fourth round, 2013 British Open
Annika SorenstamNo. 10, Colonial CC, first round, 2003 Bank of America ColonialAnnika SorenstamNo opening tee shot in PGA Tour history created such buzz. "I know I can play," Sorenstam said. "The question is, can I play when everybody is looking?" And everybody was looking at the first woman in a PGA Tour event since Babe Zaharias in 1945: about 4,000 spectators, 150 photographers, TV, the blimp. Sorenstam shook off nerves to stripe a 243-yard beauty into the narrow fairway.Honorable mention: Corey Pavin, 18th hole, Shinnecock Hills GC, fourth round, 1995 U.S. Open
David TomsNo. 15, Atlanta AC (Highlands), third round, 2001 PGA ChampionshipDavid TomsWith water and green arranged like the symbol for yin and yang, the gut-check par 3 presents no safe options for the timid golfer. Toms played boldly at the flagstick and delivered a 243-yard ace. The hole-in-one highlighted a 65, and the following day Toms defeated Phil Mickelson by one.Honorable mention: Padraig Harrington, 17th hole, Royal Birkdale GC, fourth round, 2008 British Open
Y.E. YangNo. 18, Hazeltine National GC, fourth round, 2009 PGA ChampionshipY.E. YangTiger Woods had won each of the 14 majors he'd led after three rounds. This was the 15th. Woods drove first on the 72nd hole -- long and in the fairway. Yang, who led by one, struck an unimpressive drive short and left into the first cut of rough. But from 210 yards, uphill, into a slight breeze, over a tree and a big greenside bunker, he hoisted a towering shot that almost landed in the cup. Tiger fell to 14-1.Honorable mention: Todd Hamilton, No. 18, Royal Troon GC, playoff, 2004 British Open
John DalyNo. 17, Baltusrol GC (Lower), second round, 1993 U.S. OpenJohn DalyWhen the longest hitter on tour met the longest hole in Open history, many wondered if he could reach the nearly unreachable 630-yard, uphill par 5 in two. Daly, 27, listened. With 287 to the pin after finding the fairway on Day 2, Daly, who had no fairway woods in his bag, launched his 1-iron toward the distant target. And found it -- his ball going about 305 yards to the back of the green.Honorable mention: Joey Sindelar, No. 18, Quail Hollow Club, fourth round and playoff, 2004 Wachovia Championship
Tom WatsonNo. 18, Royal Birkdale GC, fourth round, 1983 British OpenTom WatsonBack in the dead-ball and wood-wood era, the 473-yard finishing hole was daunting. Watson faced it with a one-shot lead and a massive crowd ready to celebrate his fifth Open conquest. After a solid drive, Watson ripped a deuce from 213 yards, dead on line, squarely into the narrow opening between three grave-like greenside pot bunkers. Two putts from 15 feet and he was a winner.Honorable mention: Nick Faldo, No. 13, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 1996 Masters
Bernhard LangerNo. 13, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 1993 MastersBernhard LangerThe drama came down to the effusive Chip Beck and the taciturn Langer. Langer, up by two, watched as Beck coaxed a beautiful fairway-wood shot onto the green about 25 feet from the hole. Langer responded from a sidehill lie with a pure approach just inside Beck's. Chip missed and Bernhard made, doubling his lead, the turning point in Langer's second Masters win.Honorable mention: Tiger Woods, No. 18, Hazeltine National GC, second round, 2002 PGA Championship
Louis OosthuizenNo. 2, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 2012 MastersLouis OosthuizenOosthuizen wore white pants and a Masters green shirt that sunny Sunday. Would he get the matching jacket? When his soaring second shot from 253 yards on the par 5 stopped rolling -- because the hole got in the way -- it was the first deuce on No. 2 in Masters history. He raised his arms as if signifying a touchdown, but his drive to victory would come up a thread short.Honorable mention: Tiger Woods, No. 14, Royal Liverpool GC, second round, 2006 British Open
Mark CalcavecchiaNo. 18, Royal Troon GC, playoff, 1989 British OpenMark CalcavecchiaIn the Open's first four-hole aggregate playoff, Calc dueled Wayne Grady and Greg Norman on a parched links. The Yank drove first on the 452-yarder, the final extra hole, his ball ending up in wispy rough, with a tough angle to the pin from 202 yards. Norman, tied with Calc, was bunkered, but the American went for it. His approach settled six feet from the hole, securing the claret jug.Honorable mention: Jack Nicklaus, No. 16, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 1986 Masters
Jonathan ByrdNo. 17, TPC Summerlin, playoff, 2010 Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children OpenJonathan ByrdAs the sun dipped and the temperature dropped, the three men involved in sudden death decided to make their fourth hole the last for the day. Byrd had the honor. From 204 yards, slightly downhill, Byrd's perfect draw went into the cup. After Martin Laird and Cameron Percy hit into the water, it became the first ace to win a PGA Tour event.Honorable mention: Tiger Woods, No. 18, Glen Abbey GC, fourth round, 2000 Bell Canadian Open
Shaun MicheelNo. 18, Oak Hill CC (East), fourth round, 2003 PGA ChampionshipShaun MicheelMicheel led Chad Campbell by one as he got to the difficult home hole. But Micheel's curlicue swing seemed to be faltering, and he pulled his drive into the first cut of the rough. From 175 yards, the world's 169th-ranked golfer went at his second shot hard. The ball cleared trouble in front of the green and landed as soft as a kiss just short of the pin before finishing three inches from the hole.Honorable mention: Robert Gamez, No. 18, Bay Hill Club, fourth round, 1990 Nestle Invitational
Corey PavinNo. 18, Weston Hills G&CC, fourth round, 1992 Honda ClassicCorey PavinEven in his prime, Pavin required three shots on the 585-yard par 5. From 136 yards to a pin dangerously proximate to a water hazard, the King of Spin swished his familiar flat-footed, wristy swing. The ball landed in the jar and stayed there. The eagle tied Pavin for the lead, and he beat Fred Couples with a birdie on the second playoff hole.Honorable mention: Honorable mention: Tiger Woods, No. 18, Firestone CC (South), fourth round, 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational
Jim FurykNo. 15, Conway Farms GC, second round, 2013 BMW ChampionshipJim FurykFuryk, already four under through five holes (he started his round at No. 10), drove into the fairway on the 334-yard par 4, leaving 115 yards. He choked down about two inches for his approach, hitting a sweet, little draw over a bunker. The hole-out eagle was the most dramatic stroke in his 12-under 59, only the sixth sub-60 round in tour history.Honorable mention: Angel Cabrera, No. 15, Oakmont CC, fourth round, 2007 U.S. Open
Isao AokiNo. 18, Waialae CC, fourth round, 1983 Hawaiian OpenIsao AokiWith his ball in the light rough 128 yards from the flagstick on the par-5 finisher, Aoki was just thinking about making a birdie to force a playoff with Jack Renner, who was signing his scorecard. Instead, the 40-year-old holed out for eagle to break Renner's heart and become the first from golf-mad Japan to win a PGA Tour event.Honorable mention: Tiger Woods, No. 15, Pebble Beach GL, fourth round, 2000 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am
Bubba WatsonNo. 10, Augusta National GC, playoff, 2012 MastersBubba WatsonAfter Watson sent his tee shot deep into the magnolias and pines on the right, a chip-out and a pitch-on seemed to be his best bet for extending his duel with Louis Oosthuizen. Instead Watson flipped his powerful wrists and closed the face on his 52-degree wedge. His forehead-slapping 40-yard hook from 164 yards to 15 feet led to a two-putt and a green jacket, size 44 long.Honorable mention: Jim Furyk, No. 18, Conway Farms GC, second round, 2013 BMW Championship
Bob TwayNo. 18, Inverness Club, fourth round, 1986 PGA ChampionshipBob TwayTrailing Greg Norman by four after 54 holes, Tway battled to tie the Shark on the homestretch. But Tway dunked his second shot into a deep greenside bunker on the 72nd hole. With only a bit of left-sloping, rock-hard surface to work with, Tway's blast landed and rolled 10-15 feet into the hole. Then, he jumped -- repeatedly.Honorable mention: Paul Azinger, No. 18, Muirfield Village GC, fourth round, 1993 Memorial Tournament
Tiger WoodsNo. 16, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 2005 MastersTiger WoodsNo stranger to wonderful, defy-the-difficulty wedges around the green, Woods outdid himself after hitting his tee shot long and left on the par 3. He turned 4 into 2 with his incredible point-to-point pitch en route to his fourth green jacket.Honorable mention: Larry Mize, No. 11, Augusta National GC, playoff, 1987 Masters; Tom Watson, No. 17, Pebble Beach GL, fourth round, 1982 U.S. Open
Jack NicklausNo. 17, Augusta National GC, fourth round, 1986 MastersJack NicklausThe sun shone bright that Sunday, illuminating the beltless slacks and lank blond hair of Nicklaus, 46, in a battle with younger stars. After a mind-boggling run, the Olden Bear had 11 feet for one more birdie on a green harder to read than the stock market. The double-breaker was for the lead and an even larger legend. Nicklaus was up to the moment. Maybe the best putt ever? Yes sir!Honorable mention: Costantino Rocca, No. 18, St. Andrews (Old), fourth round, 1995 British Open; Tiger Woods, No. 18, Torrey Pines GC (South), fourth round, 2008 U.S. Open
