Chamblee: DJ's drive 'greatest shot ever hit'
Dustin Johnson's ability with the driver never ceases to amaze, and he was at it again on Sunday at the Sentry Tournament of Champions where he nearly aced the 433-yard, par-4 12th hole en route to an eight-shot victory.

No, I dont think so. Hardest thing to do in golf is hit it long and straight, I think DJs shot is the greatest shot ever hit in the game.— Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) January 8, 2018
Because L O didnt go on to win, everyone one on my list did, which made the shots more memorable/historical. And I dont think Im confusing recent with great, the hardest thing to do in golf is hit it long AND straight, DJs shot on 12, IMO is the greatest shot ever hit. https://t.co/09mMmIEOHL— Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) January 8, 2018
Well, Id argue he knew exactly where he needed to hit it and did so. And it flew 330, stoped inches away and then he won. Doubtful Ill ever see a better shot that leads to a better outcome.— Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) January 8, 2018
Watsons chip in and Tigers chip in or tops for chips... my list was about my favorite shots though. :)— Brandel Chamblee (@chambleebrandel) January 8, 2018It's hard to argue with opinion and Chamblee certainly presents an interesting case, but based on the initial reaction there's a good chance social media users will continue to try and change his mind on the subject.

"I scored all right," he said.
