Nick Taylor\u0027s 72\u002Dfoot\u002Dputt represents one of the great moments in Canadian sports history. But does it top Paul Henderson or Sidney Crosby?
Mike Weir still trumps all with his victory at the Masters in 2003. The Canadian Open, bless it, is not the Masters and will never be the Masters. The Weir victory didn’t have that amazing eagle putt kind of moment to put an end to the tournament so that you remember the championship and all that came after it.The legendary Sandra Post won the LPGA championship in extra holes in 1968 and that has seemingly been forgotten over time.
Still, nothing to compare emotionally with that remarkable 72-foot putt that even Taylor didn’t believe was possible. How could anyone believe it to be possible? That’s a movie moment. That’s a Hollywood ending. That’s Kevin Costner making the impossible shot, which is only possible because it was scripted that way.
We don’t pay nearly enough attention to what Jamal Murray is accomplishing in the NBA Finals. He has already made history of his own, becoming the first player in NBA history to have 10 or more assists in the first four games of a Finals.Article content
