Top 5 Greatest Golf Shots of 2008

Here are my Top 5 Greatest Golf Shots of the Year:
5) Mickelson shot under one tree, over another to win at Colonial.
4) Harringtons clutch par putt to win PGA Championship at Oakland Hills
3) Tiger's clutch putt at Torrey Pines to force 18 hole playoff with Rocco Mediate
* I wanted Mediate to win
2) Harrington's 235 yard shot into the wind, off a slope lie, to set up an eagle putt and secure
British Open Royal Birkdale.
1) Shane Murray's tee shot at the fourth hole at the par-3 course at TPC-Royal and Ancient
Crosswind Golf Course, Savannah, Georgia (September 2008). Playing in the final group with
former par-3 champions Joey Sims and Patrick Lowe. Shane stared down a 130 tee shot to a
pin set on the front right portion of the green, tucked behind a bunker. Shane pulls an 8-iron,
aims for the center of the green, and hits a 15 yard cut two feet from the hole. It set one of the
most memorable birdies in par-3 competion history, maybe in all of golf.
