In winning nine major championships, Gary Player has hit a fair few brilliant shots over the years but the man himself is in no doubt which shot is his favourite and best.

Player is one of the most successful golfers of all time and over the years, he’s provided some truly remarkable moments.

Like most golfers, Player will know what constitutes a good shot or not and most of the time, it’s down to feel and the conditions around the shot.

Players like Jordan Spieth have enlightened us with their best shots while everyone seems to have a story about a shot Tiger Woods has hit.

Now, we can look back in time again and look at the shot Gary Player believes is his best ever.

Gary Player’s best ever golf shot

For Gary Player to look back into the vault of his memory and pick out his best ever shots may seem like an arduous task for some.

However, when we look at what Player himself has said to The Open’s official media channels, he is sure of what is the standout.

“The shot I hit at 14, I’ll never forget that. I went to see where I played from recently to refresh this wonderful memory,” Player admitted.

“I got quite choked because it was 50 years ago but it seems like yesterday, and I stood there in awe and I said, ‘The only way I could hit a shot like that is by a divine intervention’.
