As an ex Pat n.Irishman it has to be Darren Clarke
I know I am biased and there are many worthy nominees but I would welcome your views

The Shark. In recent years, Phil by a long way. One of the most memorable days of golf viewing have ever experienced that win at Muirfield, it was incredible. Bones breaking down in tears on 18 was a special moment.

It might have been Sergio if he had taken driver off the 72nd tee in 2007 - as it is probably Seve in 88 followed by Phil in 2013

Lee Trevino for me, his victory over Jacklin was incredible and when he beat Mr Lee the first I can remember watching.

when Trevino beat Jacklin ..Tony approached Lee on the first tee and said
"Dont take this the wrong way but please no talking today".Trevino countered instantly
"Hell Tony you aint gotta do any talking..you just gotta listen!"

Seve 88 the best for me

Really enjoyed Phil in 13 too

As far as championships go, 93 was a very good year, with a load of top players right in the mix on the Sunday

Phil for me. That final round was just incredible. Best second place ever last year as well. Special mention to the Shark.

Tom Watson
Fav Loser Van de Velde had more about him than all these plastic golfers nowadays!
And I've never forgiven Cink for beating Watson!
