There’s a plaque in the rough on the 18th hole which commemorates the 7-iron that Shaun Micheel struck from 175 yards out. The ball was tracking towards the hole and stopped about three inches away, sealing the victory in the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York. It was the only victory in Micheel’s career.
