Is Bubba Watson’s wedge from the woods in the 2012 Masters a top 10 all time shot?

I know a lot of people don’t like the guy... looking past that, considering the stakes (playoff hole of 2012 Masters), it leading to his first major victory, and the unlikeliness/difficulty of the shot. Is it a top 10 all time shot in pro golf?

Yes. And it won me a lot of money.

I don’t think there is any doubt about it. Truly and amazing shot, in a playoff, for the win!

It was a great shot by Bubba no doubt. His ability to curve the ball is the best since Trevino.

Tigers 3 iron shot out of a fairway bunker over a huge tree to 19ft in the 2002 PGA during the playoff is the greatest shot that I ever saw.

To hit that shot at 7:30 in the morning defies description.

Jack's 1 iron at the Masters was pretty special as well.

I dont like him at all, but you gotta give credit where credit is due. Fantastic shot under pressure, at a major.

Not quite on the level as The Chip and that 3 iron shot but Tiger hit some ridiculous shots last year to get out of trouble in the masters.

Can’t remember which hole, maybe it was 13 down the stretch from the woods but it was amazing. Best recovery player ever.

I’m a big fan of Phil’s shot from the trees on 13th at the 2010 Masters (even though he missed the eagle putt). Took some major balls to take that chance in that situation.

Except it was in the second round. Rich Beam won the tournament by 1. No playoff

That was a great one, in the pine straw, between trees, over water, and he was like 190 out.

fricking Phil, only guy that would try that in that situation

When I went last year. We walked down 10. To see the location and know the pressure of that shot, yes. He is probably the only person that could have made that shot because one thing you had to be left handed.
