2010 US Open Playoffs between Singh, Chris DiMarco, and Justin Leonard.
The hole was a 236 yd par 3 postage stamp surrounded by Lake Michigan - and the wind can change suddenly (even in ball flight) changing the club needed drastically.
Singh put it on the dance floor to within 6 ft of the flag using a magnificent 3 iron.
Does anyone else remember? It was special to me because I play have experienced those holes and know what it takes (and what I can't do). He was hitting into the wind with a 3 iron and stuck it. It would be the equivalent of hitting a 300 yd 3 iron on the spot.
The northern MI courses (and in this case northern WI course) are my favorite anywhere (yes, I am biased). The only flaw in these courses is their shorter season and their lack of big money, big city backing to get put on the tour.
