Golf fans react as Collin Morikawa holes EPIC bunker shot
Collin Morikawa hit one of the greatest bunker shots you'll ever see during the Tour Championship.
Golf fans are going crazy on social media after Collin Morikawa pulled off one of the greatest bunker shots in PGA Tour history during the third round of the Tour Championship on Sunday.
Recent PGA Championship winner Morikawa arrived at a greenside bunker to see every amateur golfers' nightmare, a ball plugged deep into the sand.
Not only was the ball plugged, but it had also buried itself in the slope of the bunker, leaving Morikawa with an awkward stance and an extremely difficult shot, one where most of us would probably fall backwards and leave the ball in the sand for another go.
The 23-year-old showed his class and proved why he is one of the most exciting players on the PGA Tour right now. Watch the incredible shot from Morikawa below:
