7. Chi Chi Rodriguez
"You should have seen how little I was as a kid," Rodriguez used to say. "I was so small that I got my start as a ball marker." Fortunately, the little man from Puerto Rico had a flair for showmanship. Who else celebrated a made putt by throwing his hat over the hole? Who else performed a sword dance after a birdie, jamming his putter into an imaginary hilt? There was just one downside to Chi Chi's clowning: it obscured the fact that he was one of the game's most creative shotmakers.
