PGA Tour golfer Denny McCarthy sees tee shot rebound off spectator and land in cupholder

PGA Tour player Denny McCarthy produced the most memorable shot of the final round of the St Jude Championship on Sunday as he drove his ball into a cupholder.

The American produced a wild tee shot that missed the fairway, and careered towards a group of spectators who had picked a quiet spot to watch the action. And in a bizarre sequence, his ball hit one seated patron, seemingly deflecting off his arm and into the place on his chair usually reserved for drinks bottles.

Fortunately for McCarthy, 29, he wasn't forced to play his approach to the par four-second from where his ball landed, instead afforded a free drop by officials. And he certainly saw the funny side when he located his drive, quipping: "Long-range hole-in-one."
