Pro airmails green (and bush!). Then his ball comes out of nowhere
A pro golfer hit a miraculous shot that went over the green and into a bush, only for the ball to bounce out and land on the green. The incredible shot happened during the final round of the PGA Tour’s Travelers Championship. A video of the shot went viral on social media, with many golf fans calling it one of the luckiest shots they had ever seen.
Tyrrell Hatton fired a flawless 8-under 64 to seize a three-stroke lead after the first round of the LIV Golf Invitational – Nashville on Friday. The Englishman, who won the opening event of the breakaway series in London in June, made eight birdies at the par-71, no-cut event at theå ŠTPC Southwind.
Hatton, 30, leads Chile’s Joaquin Niemann and American Talor Gooch, who both shot 67s.
Niemann, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 19 in the world, played alongside Hatton and birdied three of his last four holes to stay in contention.
Gooch, one of 10 Americans in the 48-man field, is making his debut in the Saudi-backed series. He is one of several players who resigned this year from the PGA Tour.
