LOUISVILLE, Ky. — For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Alejandro Tosti, let me, as the kids say, drop some knowledge on you.
The 27-year-old from Rosario, Argentina – the same town as soccer legend and current Inter Miami star Leo Messi – is in his first full season on the PGA Tour and is already making a name for himself as one of the next great characters on the tour due to his antics and personality.
During Sunday’s final round of the 2024 PGA Championship, his skill and confidence were on full display on Valhalla Golf Club’s par-4 13th hole. Known as The Limestone Hole, the 13th plays to 351 yards (the shortest par-4 on the course) and features an island green that’s built up at a 20-foot elevation and lined by, you guessed it, limestone boulders.
Most players lay up with an iron off the tee and then flip in a wedge onto the putting surface to set up a birdie chance. Tosti, however, was feeling on the back nine, pulled his driver from the bag and hit a near-perfect shot to 7 feet to set up one of the most impressive eagles of the week.

Tosti was in position to contend for a potential top 10 finish at the second men’s major championship of the season after opening rounds of 68-69 to reach 5 under for the tournament. On Saturday, however, he struggled to the tune of a 8-over 79 that featured four double bogeys.

In 13 events this season, Tosti has made six cuts, missed seven, and has just one top-25 finish, his T-2 showing at the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
