Top 10 Luckiest Shots in Golf

anybody who's played the game will tell you that when your Luck's out it's out how unlucky is that he's hit the plaque right at the base of it he's gone back into the water that is cruel sometimes all it takes is something miraculous like an odd bounce or ricochet to change the fortune of your round or tournament moments of supreme fluke enos remind us that anything can happen we take a look in the archive to bring you our top 10 at 10 is Paul Broadhurst at the European masters in 1997 that's lucky it's very fortunate the gern's 10 nearly behind dream there was a close call for Colin Montgomerie at the 2006 Ryder Cup the gods in favor of the Europeans that year our number 8 is the aptly named Robert Rock smiling aided by this lovely course feature at the open de Portugal he was able to get close and we've won an amazing bounce that was electric John anywhere and he's he's got it with an eagle range and make the most of it he did for an unexpected score now Pablo Martine made the most of his surroundings hooked it hard bounce it could be in trouble can you believe this I wouldn't have thought that was possible has now come to rest on the bridge habló went on to win and retain his Alfred Dunhill crown by a single shot at six the 2007 Open Championship and Australian John sentence rescue approach narrowly escapes a penalty he catapulted off the railing seemingly heading out of bounds amazingly got away with it John feared the worst that he was in for a nice surprise Ian wisdom now counts his blessings off the tee in 1996 a double slice of luck for the Welshman you should also thank the ground staff for those few extra blades of grass graeme mcdowell was on a roll of this year's Abu Dhabi championship not only did he ace the 12th superbly but produce this hell over the mix well way to play the last because the resultant birdie took mcdowell into a tie for third stroke of fortune worth a pretty penny to move a 3 Paul Meghan Lee's approach on the 18th to the 2008 open de France oh what a kick back nuts in the water perhaps right across the bridge no little reactions from Jacqueline the reason for the kick a rogue sprinkler head either way he doesn't look too pleased about staying out of the water or playing the next off the bridge Darren Clarke's approach looks to be heading for the drink I don't believe it there's an Irishman typical yeah I severe the luck of the Irish to the fore as they make up three of our top five but our number one fluke goes to James Kingston for this once-in-a-lifetime gift from the course gods I don't believe this came in off the tree and just look at this high-fives all round for the South African who also bagged himself a new car definitely worth a replay well that is unbelievable don't you love
