We’ve all been in that situation.
You’re lying if you say you haven’t.
It doesn’t happen very frequently on the PGA Tour, but when it does, it’s spectacular.
During the first round of the Valspar Championship, Charl Schwartzel hit his tee shot on the par-3 15th and was clearly unhappy with the result. He took a few cautious strides toward the green, as if he was a centerfielder looking to shoot someone down at the plate, and then tossed it over the middle to Rob Gronkowski like Tom Brady.
The presentation was flawless. The range of carry was astounding. The South African simply threw a well-executed club toss.

This outburst may have been influenced by his triple-bogey 6 on the par-3 13th hole — just a thought.
But then he comes back at the age of 16! It was only the tournament’s second eagle at this hole (Shawn Stefani, Round 1, 2019).

Birdie, birdie, triple-bogey, par, bogey, eagle: how does this six-hole stretch sound?
