Watch: PGA Tour spectator does the unthinkable at Zurich Classic
A spectator decided to catch Brandt Snedeker's golf ball during the third round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on the PGA Tour.
A PGA Tour spectator did the unfathomable during the third round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
The moment arrived as Brandt Snedeker was playing his tee shot at the par-3 ninth hole at TPC Louisiana.

Snedeker, who was playing the PGA Tour's pairs event with Chez Reavie, didn't draw the ball to the back left pin as he'd imagined.
In fact, he left the club face open and his ball was heading so far right that it needed a loud shout of 'fore'.
As soon as his ball landed over the gallery rope, a young spectator decided to catch it after the first bounce.
The moment prompted shock from the PGA Tour's commentary team.
"Oh my gosh," one exclaimed. "Oh no! Oh no!"
Another yelled: "He just caught the ball!"
The fan knew instantly that they had made a huge faux pas.
"Probably just wanted a souvenir fore his kid," one X user joked.
Another added: "Send him to jail. Right away"
From there, the duo managed to save their par to stay on nine-under for the tournament.
This is not the first time something like this has happened and it likely won't be the last.
Last year, a fan did the same to Nelly Korda's golf ball during the final round of the Amundi Evian Championship
