Amazing golf recovery shots
8. Bill Haas, 2011 Tour Championship
Haas’ recovery shot from the water in an epic play-off battle with Hunter Mahon at the 2011 Tour Championship is perhaps one of the most lucrative in golf’s history.
$10 million was at stake for Haas as he chased the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup.
His hopes of glory came down to a play-off with Hunter Mahon.
Haas looked out of it on the second play-off hole when his shot from a fairway bunker trickled down the hill alongside the 17th green and wound up half-submerged in the water.
But he kept himself in the running with an astonishing shot that ended up close to the pin.
He would go on to win on the next play-off hole as Mahan failed to save par.
