Top-Five Tiger Woods Shots

[mvmac]

Obviously his recent bunker shot in Mexico is creating a lot of buzz but do you think it's one of his best of all time?

Share your top-five best Tiger Woods shots of all-time.

Here's mine in no particular order. I based my list on difficulty of the shot and the context of the shot.

• 2000 Canadian Open (duh)
   
• 2000 US Open, 6th hole, second round 7-iron 
  No one else in the field could have hit this shot.  7-iron from 205 yards out of 4-inch rough, up and over that tree, up and over the second fairway.
   
• 2005 Master 16th hole final round chip in
   
• 2002 PGA Championship
  Same kind of thing, don't think anyone could have gotten a 3-iron up in the air this quickly and hit it that far, especially from an awkward stance.
   
• 2010 US Open 18th hole 3wood, third round
  273 yards behind a tree, starts it over the ocean and bends it back.

Man there are so many worthy candidates to choose from. I'm sure others will add to your list, but the one that jumps out to me was the flop shot at the Memorial a few years back.

Playing out of thick rough towards a down-sloped green that ran towards water, Tiger literally had no margin for error. All he did was hit a perfect flop that landed softly on the green and ran slowly into the dead middle of the cup. 

It is probably the only time I have jumped off my couch and had my wife (who literally could not care less about golf) come into the room to watch a replay.

That shot almost made it for me but I went with the 273 yard 3-wood at Pebble instead.

I dunno if these are top 5, but they sure were memorable. He is a human highlight reel.
