Justin Thomas was an 11-year-old when he watched Tiger Woods chip-in from the back of the 16th green on the final day of the 2005 Masters.
On Sunday evening, Thomas had his 'Woods moment' on the way to winning his first major title. His putt on the tenth green stayed on the lip of the hole for what seemed like an eternity, before falling into the hole.
A two-shot win over Patrick Reed, Francesco Molinari and Louis Oosthuizen proved the putt was not crucial, but it was that teetering ball that will prove to be the tournament's most memorable moment.
For well over ten seconds, Thomas' Titleist hovered before dropping below the Quail Hollow course. He must have known the ball could fall in, as he made no effort to putt it, before it dropped.
Unsurprisingly, that shot has gone around the world, with many recreations being made, including one from Apollo 13.

Thomas' win saw him move up eight spots in the World Rankings, to sixth spot. He's now the third-highest American behind Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth.
