That playoff between Larry Mize and Seve Ballesteros a few years back (for specifics, you may want to call Darren, he probably has it on tape), when Mize hit that chip shot, was exciting...

In some order, he is followed by the Australian Greg Norman, the Spaniard Seve Ballesteros and perhaps the Americans Lanny Wadkins and Strange.
