VIDEOS: The 5 best shots of 2014
It's hard to whittle down a year in golf to only five shots, but we are experts in the impossible at theScore.
Here are the six best shots (one honorable mention) of 2014:
Honorable Mention: McIlroy's magic
Rory McIlroy's incredible 2014 is summed up nicely by this approach and eagle at The Open, one of two majors he won this year.
5. Bubba's bomb
It's rare for a drive to make a best shots list, but Bubba Watson's tee shot at No. 13 at Augusta was one that won't soon be forgotten, punctuating his second Masters title.
4. Creamer's 75-foot eagle
Paula Creamer from 75 feet, for eagle, in a playoff, to win the HSBC Women's Champions. Yeah.
3. Kaymer saves par at the Players
The Players Championship looked to be slipping from Martin Kaymer's grasp, until he stepped up to save par - with a ridiculous putt - on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass.
2. Jones holes out in Houston
Matt Jones won his first event on the PGA Tour with a 42-yard chip shot in a playoff, and booked his ticket to Augusta in the process.
1. Dubuisson turns two tricks
Victor Dubuisson did it twice at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, saving par not from a sand trap, but from the Sonoran Desert.
