On the par-4, 428-yard sixth hole at Harbour Town Golf Links on Sunday, Dylan Frittelli hit a wayward drive left that sent his ball into a tree.
When he arrived on the scene, it turned out to be more complicated than that. He managed to find his ball still in mid-air, ensnared in a wispy branch hanging down to about eye level.
With a crowd gathered around to see how he’d get out of this jam, Frittelli aligned himself behind the ball, gripped his long putter about halfway down the shaft, raised the club above his head and tapped the ball free with a forward motion and advanced it 30 feet and into the fairway. He knocked an iron from 144 yards to 10 feet and sank the putt for a miraculous par.
