They're all good. I personally liked Nicklaus in 1986, Phil's 1st Masters win, and Couples in 1992. 1992 was a great duel between Couples and Floyd, who played together Saturday and Sunday, as I recall, and ended up 1st and 2nd.

I'm too young to remember most of Seve, but I'd add those if I'd been old enough to appreciate them more.

The Open 2000 - simply because I was there the whole week and the way that Tiger decimated the field.

The Open 2016 - how could it not be?!

The Masters 1997 - a huge turning point for Golf and one of the reasons why I became the golf geek that I am.

The Masters 2013 - Scotty winning and the drama made it something special.

 

Also a special mention to the USPGA in 2000. That battle between Woods and May, if it had been at The Masters or an Open or if it had been Tiger and a marquee name would be at the top of most peoples lists.

 

Crenshaw in 1995 is my all time favorite. I loved watching anytime he was in the hunt, that putting stroke was as close to sex as I could get at the time.

 

A little too much information I think haha.

Nicklaus in 1975 Masters. He makes 40 footer to take lead at #16, Johnny Miller shoots 65-66 over the weekend. Miller & Tom Weiskopf in final pairing with Nicklaus in clubhouse at -12 & both have good looks at birdie to tie him...& both barely miss. First Masters I attended, was a big Weiskopf fan as a beginning golfer. Followed Weiskopf & Miller all day Sunday. Will never forget the roar when Nicklaus made the putt on #16 & Weiskopf visibly sagged standing on the tee when it went in.

Too many to mention really, the Masters alone does the same thing every year where halfway through you think 'yeah this is ok, been better years' then by the back 9 on Sunday, it's edge of your seat stuff.

 

1999 Open - Jean van de Velde's collapse was one of my first memories of watching golf.

2005 Masters - Tiger vs DiMarco and 'The Shot'

2006 US Open - Absolute carnage, several players could have won. Will always remember Monty and Mickelson's final holes

2007 Open - probably the most memorable, the first Irish major win in the modern era, Harrington opened the door for so many. And what dramatic circumstances to do it too, double bogeying the last, Garcia lipping out, playoff

2010 US Open - always been a big fan of G-Mac, and to win at Pebble Beach with Woods, Els and Mickelson chasing was great.

2011 Masters - pretty sure there were 10 players within two shots of the lead on the back 9 Sunday, or something silly like that. McIlroy amazing for three rounds, alongside Day and Fowler, real breakout event for many.

2011 US Open - This was one of those out-of-this-world performances by Rory McIlroy to win by eight shots, could have been more in truth. To do that after shooting 80 in the final round of the previous major was something special. Tiger did this a few times but he always seemed like a mythical kind of figure, this was a lad from Northern Ireland that was playing like Tiger.

2016 Open - might never see better golf over the weekend than the show Mickelson and Stenson put up.

2017 Masters - Sergio finally wins, brilliant.

1) Jack's walk on water in '86

 

2) Tiger's utter annihilation of a course and a crew of Players at either Pebble or ANGC, pick one...

 

3) My last Club in '94

 

Have a Great week Bro?

 

My Best,

RP

In the end, only three things matter~ <br /><br />How much that you loved...<br /><br />How mightily that you lived...<br /><br />How gracefully that you accepted both victory & defeat...<br /><br /><br /><br />GHIN: Beefeater 24

Some have already been mentioned but for me the 2015 US Open - as a big DJ fan this was memorable in a negative light of course...

 

Spent the weekend at my parents about 2.5-3 hours away. Watched the coverage all day with my dad who isn't the biggest golf fan but was into it as it came down to the last hole.

 

I had debated leaving earlier in the day and getting home to watch the leaders play the last 9 holes or so. Couldn't pull myself away from the TV and due to the time difference it didn't wrap up until after 10pm, probably closer to 11 if I recall correctly.

 

As DJ missed that putt to win and subsequently the putt to force a playoff I almost fell on the floor I was so pissed. And to top it off I had to drive almost 3 hours back to my place. That was one crappy car ride!

There have only been two Majors where I was absolutely glued to the TV on Sunday and saw every bit of coverage there was. I will make those two my most memorable:

 

08' US Open with Tiger and Rocco

17' Masters with Sergio, Rose, and the chasers

 

I thoroughly enjoyed 16' Open but thought the way the draw was set up it eliminated half the field Thurs/Friday.

14' PGA was pretty good as well.

 

Those are the ones that really stand out to me.
