Mackenzie Hughes gets wild break with lucky bounce off the rocks at 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational

You don’t see this every day.

Mackenzie Hughes took the term “bank shot” from basketball and applied it to his first round of golf on Thursday at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational. No. 3 at Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando has water down the entire left side of the hole, and Hughes did well to avoid it off the tee as his drive found the right rough. His approach 164 yards out was flirting with the water as his ball landed on the bank of the lake and ricocheted off some rocks and onto the green.

A shot that should’ve splashed into the water instead left a 7-foot birdie putt for Hughes (spoiler alert, he missed).
