1986 – Bob Tway holes out at Inverness

After leading by four shots with eight holes to go, Greg Norman struggled to bring it home. The Aussie and Tway were tied when Tway’s 9-iron to the short par-4 18th finished in a greenside bunker. Norman was looking at a 25-foot chip when Tway lofted his shot over a steep bunker face and into the hole, prompting a memorable leap into the air and what became a two-stroke victory after Norman failed to get up and down. Norman had led after the third round of each major in 1986, winning only the British Open. Tway took Player of the Year honors after registering four wins.
