He was 45ft away from the hole in two. All over the course, his teammates were overturning a seemingly insurmountable points deficit heading into Sunday. Needing only half a point to secure the unlikeliest of comebacks, the 27-year old Texan, who had already holed a mile of putts, sent his ball rolling at pace towards the hole. When it hit back of the cup and dropped, frenzied celebrations broke out among fans, US players, wives and girlfriends. Olazabal eventually missed his attempt, which guaranteed USA the half point they needed for victory.

So how good was that putt? A Shot Quality score of 0 denotes the worst possible outcome, such as a lost ball or hitting out of bounds 100 represents the expected score of the average tour player, and 200 represents statistical perfection, such as a hole in one or holing out from long distance.
