Phil Mickelson, 2010 The Masters
The pine straw at Augusta is famously known for its underfoot uncertainty.
Chuck in the hazard of in the creek fronting Augusta’s 13th hole and the infamous pressure of the Masters, and it would only make sense to punch a short iron off the straw into position for an easy third shot approach.
In the final round of the 2010 Masters, Mickelson led Lee Westwood by two strokes when he faced that moment. There was never a doubt in his mind that he would go for the green.
He did exactly that, 190-yard a six-iron to within three feet of the cup. Mickelson missed the eagle putt but made birdie and went on to beat Lee Westwood by three strokes for his third Masters and a fourth major championship.
