15. Sarazen Hit A 4 Wood

Not a 3 wood. And it was 235 yards, so easily over 200! An amazing shot for 85 years ago, given the hardware they had.

I agree that's the better shot. Rahm's shot is fun, but...

I've seen lots a trick shots. Many are astounding.
But, Geno did it under tournament pressure with many of the world's best players competing.
And, he won the tournament.

I'd also call the famous Tiger chip-in better. 999 out of 1000 golfers, hitting that shot 10 times each wouldn't get a ball inside 10 feet. Tiger's one & only chance went in!
