6. 1984 Fuzzy Zoeller vs. Greg Norman
276-276* (Zoeller won playoff, 67-75)
Tied for the lead with Fuzzy Zoeller and playing the 72nd hole in the group ahead, Greg Norman blocked his 6-iron approach into the grandstand. After a poor chip, the Shark somehow holed a downhill, left-to-right, 45-foot putt for par. Watching from the fairway, Zoeller grabbed a white towel and waved it in mock surrender, one of the most memorable gestures in golf history. In a playoff the next day, when the Fuzz ran in a 68-foot birdie putt at the second hole, it was Norman's turn to surrender. Zoeller's 67 was the lowest score ever in a U.S. Open playoff, and his 8-shot victory margin was the largest ever.
