Major championships
Most Memorable Moments in Major Championships
The shots people remember from major championships usually combine pressure, imagination, and a decision that was braver than it looked.
Why certain moments stick
Memorable golf at major championships is not always the longest drive or the loudest celebration. It might be a controlled long iron to the fat of the green, a pitch that lands on a dinner-plate spot, or a six-footer hit with a steady head when major-week pressure is squeezing the player.
Watch the decision before the strike
To understand a famous finish in major championships, ask what the player could not do. For a major-week plan, long might be dead, short might leave sand, and the obvious flag might be a trap. For a major-week plan, once you see those boundaries, a shot to 18 feet can look every bit as bold as a dart at the pin.
Remember for major championships: the highlight shows the swing, but the smarter story usually starts with the target.
