The example here is a recreation of a memorable moment involving Arnold Palmer trailing by seven heading into the final round of the 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills. Palmer pulled the persimmon wood out on the first tee box of the downhill, 341-yard hole and drove the green. He made birdie and his greatest comeback was underway. He shot 65 to leapfrog a young amateur named Jack Nicklaus and a legend named Ben Hogan, to win the title.
No actual photographs of that iconic moment exist however this painting, by Jon Crocker, recreates the scene.
