From tournament-winning moments to players making birdies and eagles from the most unlikely of positions, we've delved into the archives to look back at some of the best bunker play of all-time.

The highlight of Tiger Woods' victory at the 2000 Canadian Open came from a fairway bunker on the 72nd hole, where he produced a miraculous approach over water to secure his one-shot victory, while Azinger holed-out from the sand to secure a half-point for Team USA in the 2002 Ryder Cup.

Spieth holed his bunker shot from the sand to win the 2017 Travelers Championship, while Azinger achieved similar on the final hole to claim a one-shot victory at The Memorial back in 1993.

A superb recovery from the sandpit played a key part in Sandy Lyle winning the Green Jacket at the Masters in 1988, while Phil Mickelson producing a remarkable effort from a seemingly impossible position also features!
