The legendary 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass beat a lot of professional golfers up yesterday as heavy winds made it so darn hard for a lot of really good players to even hit the green.
Yesterday’s weather was just bad and made things very hard but also very entertaining for us fans who know all to well what it feels like to hit bad golf shots.
Well, the conditions have been a lot better today and early Sunday evening Shane Lowry took advantage of a front pin placement and lived the dream of getting a hole-in-one that sent the huge crowd into hysterics.
Lowry also had the perfect reaction:
