Some golf shots are destined to remain forever in the memory. The 2005 Masters probably won't be remembered for Tiger Woods and Chris Di Marco going head to head in a play-off
Instead, the final day will be remembered for Woods' second at the par-3 16th. Playing out of the rough just off the green, Woods chipped his shot at a right angle away from the pin, using gravity to bring the ball back down the slope towards the hole.
In a moment Hollywood script writers would have been proud of, the ball gradually rolled to the hole until it came to a rest on the edge of the cup.
As everyone around the green held their breath, another quarter roll saw the ball drop from sight - the sponsor's name in view (a huge bonus for the Nike marketing team).
I believe the resulting roar from the gallery was heard around the whole of Georgia!
