That kid is something else, wow!
Unbelivable!
That is ridiculous!
Some saying it was his second ball?!
What a guy!
Nice birdie on the 2nd ball LOL
Big deal, Happy Gilmore did this 25 years ago
Good grief!
Think it was a second ball though ha!
Save it for Friday, Viktor!
Glad he used it up when it doesn't count
