The wonder shot that defined The Master

DON’T be surprised if it turns up soon in a new Tiger Woods commercial. This was a shot, though, that will outlive any ad campaign.

Brilliant, even before it hung tantalisingly on the lip, Woods’ chip became one for the ages when it toppled into the bottom of the cup on the 16th hole of the Masters on Sunday.

Woods wasn’t trying for a memorable moment when he hit the shot that swept down a ridge and funnelled its way slowly into the hole. He was just trying to win a golf tournament, and his fourth green jacket. He got both, with a shot that will join iconic Masters moments of the past.
