One of TV’s money-shots in golf is the player’s reaction to a made-putt, or missed-shot. Jack Nicklaus’s raised putter in the 1986 Masters comes to mind when thinking about reacting to the thrill of victory.

 
But more often than not, it’s the agony of defeat, or simply the missed-shot. It’s just a numbers game, as there are way more pars than birdies.

Here’s a round up of some player’s reactions to missed-opportunities during round three of the Sony Open at Waialae Country Club. (Tip: Hover over photo to read caption and credits.)
