The image of Nikko Locastro jumping off a tree trunk at the USDGC was always going to stick with us.

Now, with close to 50% of the popular vote, Locastro has also earned the 2019 Shot of the Year for his albatross on hole 13 at Winthrop Gold.

Locastro’s wide approach on the par 5 skipped off the asphalt OB and into the chains, setting off one of the sport’s most memorable reactions ever. We’ve talked about this shot enough already, so just watch it one more time.
