BRANDEL CHAMBLEE: Former Tour player, now Golf Channel analyst

The shot: “It was at Q School in Arizona in the mid-1980s and was a really cold week – so cold I didn’t fancy getting out of the car to warm-up, preferring to listen to “Eye of the Tiger” – the Rocky movie theme – to get me in the right frame of mind to play. I was playing really well and on the last day was paired with Bob Eaks, who not many people would have heard of – all the talent in the world, but not the greatest disposition to play golf. He was really long and hit the ball straight up in the air with his peculiar swing – he had really high hands and didn’t turn his body much. The last hole was a par-5 and he’s right on the bubble of making it, but he’s ballooned his tee shot into air and it’s finished 50 yards behind me. With a creek in front of the green, it’s a clear lay-up. So I couldn’t believe it when he pulled out his wood.

I couldn’t believe it either when his ball landed in the middle of the green and rolled up by the hole. I said: ‘Bob, that’s the greatest 3-wood I’ve seen in my life’ and he nonchalantly replied with ‘it wasn’t a 3-wood, it was a 5-wood!’ No pressure like Q School pressure.”

The shot: “On the 18th green in the 2008 Open at Birkdale, Ian Poulter had a 20-footer for par. That was before Padraig Harrington birdied the 15th and eagled 17, so in a lot of people’s minds it was for the Open, or to get in a play-off. He holed it and I remember my dad – who was caddying for me – shaking his hand and saying ‘balls of steel’.”

BROOKE HENDERSON: Five-time LPGA Tour winner

The shot: “I’ve seen so many great shots. But I’ve been lucky to have seen quite a few holes-in-one over the years. I’m not sure it’s the best shot that I ever hit or seen, because I got a bit lucky with the roll off the apron, but I had a hole-in-one on the par-3 13th at Sahalee a few years back. It helped propel me to the lead to win my first major, so I’ll take that one. It was a 7-iron from 152 yards.”

JUSTIN THOMAS: 2017 PGA Champion and Player of the Year

The shot: “I was playing with Phil Mickelson in a US Open practice round at Pinehurst in 2014 and he was short right of the green, close to a bunker, off this tight lie. Any other player would have putted it, including me! But Phil takes out his lob wedge and tosses the ball inside two feet, almost jarring the hole. Classic Mickelson.”

BERND WIESBERGER: Four European Tour wins

The shot: “I was playing at the 2014 PGA Championships at Valhalla on the Saturday with Phil Mickelson. On the par-4 3rd, he tried to drive the green. The landing area was quite big at the front, but it was a lot narrower towards the back of the green; maybe three-and-a-half paces to each side. Mickelson drove right of the green and then had to play off a downslope from the rough with a bunker just in front. It was a really tight pin, but he took a really big swing and it landed so softly. It ended up about two feet from the hole. He made it look like the simplest shot in the world, but it was a 35-40-yard lob shot. That was impressive.”

VAUGHN TAYLOR: 2016 AT&T Pebble Beach winner

The shot: “I was competing at the Bob Hope Classic about six years ago, playing with an amateur off about 20 who hadn’t been finding the clubface in the two previous rounds! We arrived at the 204-yard par-3 5th – surrounded by water – fearing the worst. He only went and holed out with a 6-iron for the most unlikely of aces. His father had recently died and the chap was flooding tears. With Dottie Pepper and the TV crew on site, it made his golfing life!”
