Justin Rose played remarkable down the menacing closing stretch of the Merion Golf Club to win the 113th U.S. Open. It was the 32-year-old's first major victory, and it should be no surprise to anyone that it earned him inclusion onto this list.

Still, it was a supremely impressive performance for a 26-year-old who showed no fear in tremendous pressure. The lack of fear was even apparent in his wardrobe. Even TNT's and former NBA mainstay Steve Kerr had to comment:
