Billy Horschel — Getty ImagesWelcome to Teeing Off, where Devil Ball editor Shane Bacon and national columnist Jay Busbee take a day's topic and smack it all over the course. Suggest a future topic by hitting us on Twitter at@shanebacon and @jaybusbee. Today we talk about the best final hole celebrations of all time.

Bacon: On Sunday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Billy Horschel faced a putt he had hit plenty of times in his life. Laying in bed daydreaming, on the practice green as a kid and maybe even in junior tournaments imagining this wasn't just for a small trophy but for a huge PGA Tour win. Horschel drained it, and his celebration was as incredible as his 72 holes to snag his first PGA Tour title. With Horschel's celebration coming on the heels of what Adam Scott did on the 18th hole at Augusta National just a few weeks back, I ask you, what golf celebration stands out to you as the best ever?

Busbee: Oh, where to begin? I have a soft spot for Arnold Palmer slinging his visor at the end of the US Open

Getty ImagesFor the first time since 1981, the world will descend on Merion Golf Club's East Course on June 13 for the second major championship of the year and the fifth time the U.S. Open has been hosted there.

One thing you should expect to see? Wicker baskets adorning the tops of the flagsticks all across Merion's famed links.

Devil Ball put a call into the USGA on Monday morning asking if the traditional wicker baskets would be in play and it was confirmed they would.

Why wicker baskets instead of traditional flags? Let the Merion Golf Club website explain it ...

"The wicker baskets' origin is a mystery to this day. There was a great deal written in 1912, and for three years thereafter, locally and nationally about this new course in Philadelphia. However, there was no mention of the soon-to-be famous wicker baskets. It could be assumed they were not there. By the summer of 1915, William Flynn, Merion's Superintendent,

When talking about the hottest golfers on the planet right now names like Tiger Woods, Brandt Snedeker and Adam Scott are tossed around, but we shouldn't look past Billy Horschel.

The 26-year-old pro hasn't missed a cut on the PGA Tour since the Byron Nelson last May, and has been on some run the last month. After a final round 85 at Bay Hill dropped him 50 spots on the leaderboard, Horschel found his game, carding three straight top-nine finishes heading into New Orleans.

Horschel needed a special final round to give himself a chance at breaking up a crowded leaderboard and did just that on Sunday when he carded a round of 64 that included a stretch of seven birdies over eight holes, but it was his putt on the 18th green that put him in the winner's circle for the first time in his career.

The putt was a lengthy one, but Horschel calmly knocked it right in the side of the cup for his ninth birdie of the day and a one shot victory.

It will be tough for someone to beat the reaction of

Most people that stand on the tee of a 583-yard par 5 are praying to just get near the green in two shots. On Friday at the Ballantine's Championship in Korea, Louis Oosthuizen decided he'd nearly get there in one.

His drive on the first hole of his second round went right, found the curb-friendly cart path and rolled, and rolled and rolled some more.

The video above takes more than two minutes and it's all just Oosthuizen's tee shot, and as the announcers said, goes about 500 yards by the time it stops.

The crazy part? The former British Open winner didn't even birdie the hole. Now that's not taking full advantage of a lucky break.

There is an art to making it to the weekend on the PGA Tour. Golfers who have spent their whole life firing under par rounds can get on a missed cut run when they make it to the big leagues and quickly forget about posting a low score and focus only on what it will take to make a paycheck. Justin Rose turned pro back in 1998 and missed 21 consecutive cuts. Mike Weir, the 2003 Masters champion, had a streak heading into this season of 17 straight missed cuts before making the weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open. Even Tiger Woods, the prodigal son of this game, missed his first seven cuts as an amateur before making a weekend on the PGA Tour.

So that should explain a little into just what 14-year-old Guan Tianlang is doing right now in professional golf. Still an amateur, Guan became the youngest person to ever tee it up in the Masters, and went on to make the cut despite a questionable ruling on Friday at Augusta National.

His weekend showed holes in his game, but still, the kid made

At the Masters it was the cute, headline-catching story. Guan Tianlang, a 14-year-old amateur, was not only playing at Augusta National but was playing well. Despite a questionably penalty on Friday, Tianlang made the cut at the Masters and won low amateur honors, something nobody expected when the week started.

Now the story is becoming reality. Tianlang accepted an invite to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, and made the trip to play in his second PGA Tour event with the big boys. The idea was the subject of our Teeing Off debate this week, and while it seemed like it would be fun to see him out there again, people still doubted if he could keep his good play going.

Boy how dumb were we? Tianlang shot an opening round even-par 72 on Thursday, with highlights above. The 14-year-old started off with a bogey, made another at No. 6, and then played his final 12 holes at 2-under.

The story just keeps getting better, and if he is able to make his second cut in a row on the PGA Tour, we

There are plenty of hazards in the game of golf; water, bunker, and apparently, alligator.

That was the case on Thursday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, when three of those nasty creatures were approaching some of the golfers on the course who were near the water, but nobody made waves like the three-legged gator that took on a rules official.

Now I've played plenty of golf in my home state of Arizona and encountered my fair share of legless creatures, but if I saw an alligator I'd be done for the day.

I feel like the above video means it's a good time to share the following picture via the Twitter handle @JohnDiMascio515. Yes, that is a golf ball that came to rest on the top of a gator, and yes, there were plenty of "play it where it lies" jokes.

And of course, the below video is just me being the obligatory blogger that I am. Enjoy!

There are few nicknames in golf cooler than Mr. 59. It's the score everyone wants to shoot, and only five have, and it's the idea of being the man behind the sub-60 round that kicked it all off is a pretty awesome feather in your cap.

Al Geiberger was playing in the 1977 Memphis Classic when the golf gods decided he would be the first man to go lower than 60. Nobody had ever really seen how he did it, but The Golf Channel's new In Play with Jimmy Roberts uncovered an old newsreel that showed how Geiberger did it down the stretch.

Sure, the reaction after his final birdie putt is great, but I was a fan of what he did on 16, as the ball was falling and he turned to the crowd almost to say, "I'm not really sure what's happening."

The clip is great, and while it is far from high definition, it is great to see a guy have to make a putt on the final hole to do something nobody else had ever done before to that point and sink it dead center.
