It's the first playoff hole of the Frys.com Open.  Jamie Lovemark is locked in a playoff with Troy Matteson and Rickie Fowler, in search of his first PGA Tour win.  From the middle of the fairway on the 18th hole, Lovemark hits his approach.  He was aimed way too far right.  The ball was heading for the water when the amazing happened (at the 1:15 mark or so).

The only thing that I could think of that was even close to that kind of luck in a tournament was Fred Couples' tee shot to the 12th hole at Augusta in the 1992 Masters.  He hit short of the green and the ball should have rolled into Rae's Creek.  But - miraculously - it stopped short.  Couples went on to claim the Masters as his only major championship.

Lovemark wound up losing to Troy Matteson one hole later.  So, it was only kinda lucky.

On a personal level, I think my luckiest shot came in high school golf team tryouts.  I was a freshman on day two of the tryout.  I barely squaked by one day one.  (I am horrible at winter golf.)  But, on day two, I came out firing.  I had a great round.  I came to the ninth hole - our last - needing par or better to feel good about making the team.

Hitting my approach from the fairway, I crushed it with a wedge.  Too much adrenaline.  I was going to airmail the green and hit the guys watching from atop the hill overlooking the putting surface.  But then divine intervention flew my ball right into the branches of the tree behind the green and deposited it about 10 feet from the cup.

I drained the birdie, shot 39, and made my spot of the golf team - a spot I kept all four years.

What's your greatest break ever on the golf course?
