Show notes
Following The Masters, and Rory's extraordinary win, Mark Allen made the bold claim to Nick O'Hern that Rory's shot on 15 on Sunday was the greatest shot ever made in golf. Nick agrees it was incredible, but isn't necessarily convinced that it was the greatest ever. Mark doubled down and said that if anyone could mount an argument for another shot, he would take them out for a round on Kingston Heath in Melbourne's Sandbelt.We had plenty of suggestions.You have suggested a number of shots from players like Seve, Bubba, Phil, Sarazen, Jack, Tiger, Bryson, O'Connor, Oosthuizen. Do any of them convince Mark or does he lean into his 'situational' defence of his Rory claim?One specific shot was raised by multiple people, and Mark struggles to argue against it, until Nick raises a potential defense. It's a technicality, but does it rule out this shot?During the pod, Robert from Atlanta has a suggestion on a better shot - but also asks Nick to clarify a great rumour he has heard about Nick in one of the matchplay tournaments against Tiger.And Ken has a question about 1-irons.We wrap the pod with a question for Nick and Mark about Rory's shot. In the same circumstances, as tour pros, would they have attempted the same shot?We do the show from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.
