Arnold Palmer, 1960, 18th Hole

A list of great Masters shots would not be complete without Arnold Palmer. In 1960, Palmer birdied the 17t hole to pull into a tie with Ken Venturi with one hole remaining in his round.

Needing a birdie to win, Palmer found the fairway with his tee shot. Then, he hit a nearly-perfect 6-iron to within six feet of the hole. That shot set up Palmer’s birdie putt, which he made to shoot a final-round 70, claiming his second green jacket in the process.
