Caddie reveals how tour pro reacted to shortest (?!) missed putt ever
Korn Ferry Tour pro Tom Whitney appeared to miss the shortest putt in televised history and this is what his caddie had to say about it.
Hands up if you've ever missed a putt shorter than 'gimme' length?
Chances are you have and if you claim the contrary then we'll call you a liar. It happens to every one in this game. Every damn one of us.
The reason we are talking about short putts is because footage has emerged of what surely is the shortest missed putt in televised history.
Reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm caught our attention when he missed the shortest putt in PGA Tour history.

That moment for the tempestuous Spaniard arrived during the first round of the 2022 Arnold Palmer Invitational.
His putt from 11 inches didn't even reach the hole and it truly baffled us here at GolfMagic.
Remind yourself of that moment here:

But Korn Ferry Tour pro Tom Whitney has taken things to a whole new level.
This truly astonishing moment occurred during the NV5 Invitational in Glenview, Illinois.
Just take a look at this:
You absolutely HATE to see that. One of the shortest missed putts EVER.

Ryan French, who is known as Monday Q Info on Twitter, was caddying for Whitney.
French said he gave Whitney a little pep talk and told him to shake it off as he was hitting it great.
It appears as Whitney found the moment quite humorous as he gave his looper a fist bump after tapped in on the very next hole.
Tom came over to me handed me the putter, and on the way to the next tee, I just told him he was hitting it great and forget about it and we would make it up.

Tom on 15: I’ve made one putt over 4-feet.
Me: but the tap-in on 13 today was dead center.— Monday Q Info (@acaseofthegolf1) July 29, 2023
