This is a shot from an exclusive perch (wish it was because I was special, but alas, it's the company I keep!) adjacent Pebble Beach #6 on the final day of the 2010 U.S. Open. Moments earlier, Shaun Micheel notched a rare double eagle -- also known as an albatross -- after his approach landed just shy of the green and ran straight into the hole, setting the galleries at both #6 and #7 ablaze with cheers.

The MetLife Blimp, Snoopy One, hovers above Monterey Bay and the 17th green in the distance.
