WATCH: PGA Tour winner makes 432 foot putt for potential record

PGA Tour winner Brendon Todd sinks a remarkable 432-foot putt on the 18th hole at the PGA Championship. The putt, which was captured on video, is a potential record for the longest putt ever made on the PGA Tour.

Todd’s putt came at the end of a dramatic third round at the PGA Championship. The 35-year-old American started the day tied for the lead, but he quickly fell behind after making a triple bogey on the first hole.

However, Todd bounced back with birdies on the third and fourth holes, and he eventually took the lead for good with a birdie on the 16th hole.

Todd’s 432-foot putt was the icing on the cake, and it gave him a two-stroke lead heading into the final round.
