Which Pro Makes the Shot to Save Your Life?

A variation of a theme inspired by Mizuno’s thread about “one shot to save your life”, which pro would you want to make that big shot to save your life?

300-yard drive in the fairway
175-yard approach shot
100-yard wedge
Greenside Sand Save
6-foot putt

My picks:

300-yard drive in the fairway - Robert Allenby. Distance and accuracy combined

175-yard approach shot - Vijay Singh. When he's on his game, his iron shots are among the best.

100-yard wedge - Mike Weir. When Weirsy's dialed in, he's deadly.

Greenside Sand Save - Retief Goosen. The best.

6-foot putt - Tiger Woods. I've seen him make too many clutch putts over his career to pick anyone else.

My choices... woops LPGA in there too

300-yard drive in the fairway - Fred Couples (he's still Boom Boom)
175-yard approach shot - Tiger (always seems deadly with mid irons)
100-yard wedge - Big John Daly (he's got "short" game too)
Greenside Sand Save - Fred Couples (soft touch magician)
6-foot putt - Annika (I see her make a bunch from that distance)

300-yard drive in the fairway - Joe Durant (#4 in driving accuracy, with a 290+ yd avg. Surely he could crank out one 300 yarder!)
175-yard approach shot - Luke Donald (Call him Ironman!)
100-yard wedge - Tiger
Greenside Sand Save - Goosen
6-foot putt - Tiger again!

300-yard drive in the fairway
175-yard approach shot
100-yard wedge
Greenside Sand Save
6-foot putt

My picks:

Drive: Tiger (as long as he knows its to save my life) He would hit his low stinger like drive with the abbreviated finish.

Approach: Tiger because its just a 7-iron for him.

Wedge: Tiger; I guess the theme is really if my life is on the line why not the worlds best.

Sand Save: You guessed it.

Putt: Who Else?

300 yarder in the fairway: Sergio-best in the business at long and straight IMO.
175 approach: Vijay-spectacular iron player, he'd be sure to hit it somewhere close.
100 yard wedge: Tiger-not too many better with a wedge in their hand, no matter where it is.
Sand save: Retief-so smooth from this stuff.
6 foot putt: Tiger-although he's having trouble with these now, he's Mr. Clutch when it comes to these when he absolutely needs them.

I'm not sure how motivated they would be to "save my life," but assuming they were trying as hard as they could:

300-yard drive in the fairway - Sergio Garcia
175-yard approach shot - Vijay
100-yard wedge - David Toms
Greenside Sand Save - Phil Mickelson
6-foot putt - Tiger Woods
