PGA Championship

Some golfers are remembered for a single, historic shot. Most golf fans would agree that Bob Tway will forever be known for the shot from the greenside bunker in the 68^th PGA Championship. The smooth-swinging Tway had stripped playing partner Greg Norman of a 4-stroke lead in the previous eight holes, and drove into heavy rough on the par-4, 354-yard, 18^th hole. Tway’s 9-iron approach from a downhill lie caught the right-front, greenside bunker. Norman, meanwhile, lofted a 123-yard wedge approach to the fringe of the green.

The green sloped away from Tway, who stepped into the bunker, swung and floated the ball about a foot onto the putting surface. Shocking Norman and the golf world, the ball rolled into the cup. Tway leaped up and down in the sand like a schoolboy, pumping his fists. Norman, trying to regain his composure, chipped 10 feet past the hole. He finished two strokes behind Tway, who became the first player in modern history to win the PGA Championship with a birdie on the 72^nd hole. His 8-under-par 276, also made him the first to post a sub-par, 72-hole total, in a major championship at Inverness Club. Tway went on to be named the PGA Player of the Year, finishing the season with four victories.
