Golf Central is running an online poll to determine the putt of the year.
And the nominees are...
Zach Johnson's birdie on the 15th hole during the first round of The Barclays
Tiger Woods' 70-footer on the ninth hole during the first round of the TOUR Championship
Tiger Woods' birdie on the eighth hole during the last round of the PGA Championship
Championship Tadd Fujikawa's eagle on the 18th hole during the second round of the Sony Open
Padraig Harrington's double bogey to force a playoff at the British Open
OK, I have a confession. I dont remember much about any of these. Theres an obvious reason: I didnt see all of them. The ones I did see apparently werent that memorable, or else senility is setting in, or a little of both.
Here's my nomination for putt of the year, with a twist...
Its a putt that didnt drop. Had it gone in, it would have changed everything for one talented but tortured young player.
Sergio Garcias eight-foot par putt on the 72nd green to win the British Open
Garcias effort burned the edge. Heading into 2008 Sergio still has the Never Won a Major monkey riding his back.
