Emiliano Grillo hits the ball directly in the hole from 104 yards away for an eagle at the PGA Championship.
Well good for Happy Gilmo—OH MY GAWD!
Hey Shooter, haven't you forgotten your 9 iron? Hahahaha!
That ball was NOT too good for its home.
And Ill see YOU in the parking lot later!
Definitely way easier than putting!
Yeah, I’ll just do that from now on.
Did somthing just happen that I'm unaware of?
Apparently, Mr Grillo here went to his happy place before this shot.
It’s best when you do stuff like this and others are watching.
I can only do these things when I’m playing Wii golf alone. And I still look around to see if anyone’s impressed.
You think he meant to do that? I think Jesus intervened
I think Jesus was busy at the Olympic gymnastics qualifiers that weekend.
Why don't golfers just do this every time?
Other golfers hate him for this one weird trick! Haha
Are they stupid?
Skill issue.
Git gud scrubs.
Believe it or not, Kim Jung-Il has the (self-proclaimed) record. Eleven holes in one in a round. Beat that, free world!
To add more context. He was 5'-3" (no offense short kings, I am close to the club but not honorable enough to be a card carrying member) and achieved this feat at a 7700 yard course.
As someone who has enjoyed playing golf occasionally, but is terrible at it, it blows my mind that someone can get this good at hitting a tiny ball with a wonky club.
Its more amazing that you can hit a shot like this and celebrate with just a high-five.
As someone who has never played a regular game of golf, this seems like a lucky but not great shot. If it had landed 2 inches in any direction from the hole, it would have wound up way off target. Seems like he over shot it by a pretty wide margin.
Depends on the pitch of the green. Sometimes you’d rather end up past a hole depending on the terrain. Good golfers can also add backspin to the ball.
Both valid points
Perhaps but this shot looked the equivalent of nothing but net
Some luck must be involved. Even if you calculated and hit it with a robot programmed for this, it may miss due to small parameters like momentary air changes.
Nothin' but net
If you slow it down, it actually ricochets off the pole.
Swish.. Swish.. Swish.
Yeah well I won a free game at the mini putt once
If you slow it down you can see it bounce off the pin into the hole. Pretty cool
But did he call backboard?
Guess we'll see him in the NBA draft
Would it still count if it bounced back out?
Nope.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? I AM!!
That was absolutely epic
Wow
I used to shoot pool in Brooklyn way back in the mid-60s, and one oldster liked to say "like it had eyes" when someone made a good shot.
I think that expression would apply here.
What does that mean? Like the ball had eyes and could see where it was going?
Yep.
It's that simple, folks. You too can be a golf pro.
As someone who has never played golf, how much of this is luck? Can pro golfers consistently aim with such precision over those distances?
No, this is purely luck. Obviously the golfer is aiming for the hole, but they don't have this level of accuracy at that distance.
I'm not a golfer but I was actually thinking this was overshot but luckily found it's mark. Wouldn't you want the ball to land in front of the hole and roll towards it, rather than the ball landing right at the hole and rolling way past it?
Depends on if this guy was putting backspin on the ball when he hit it.
I see, I had no idea backspin was a thing in golf
Haha, it is indeed! Backspin is actually a super cool thing that can be done.
That's worth 3 points right?
-3
-2
I thought it was Trump.
On the 13th
Kobe!
lol what the fuck? I've never seen anything like it, almost seems cartoonish.... also, this is how I envisioned holes in one as a kid. Never considered them landing and rolling in. Just plopping directly in the cup
Directly in the hole but it was an eagle?
This was his second shot on a par 4. Two under the par is an eagle.
Cheats!!!
He's obviously using an aimbot
Lucky number 13
Wish I could play golf like that.
SWISH!!!
I bet that eagle was really grateful.
Didn’t even touch the sides
How in the H - E - double hockey sticks did that not just bounce right back out???
Why don’t they do this every time
Cleanest shot ever 👏🏾
Guess he can hit any hole with a rod and balls.
Uhm 3 click swing is cheating!
While he watched the ball, was he thinking "damn, too much power" or "nailed it"?
kobe!
Golfers, that’s gotta be luck right? I mean there’s no way you can skill shot that…
But still the most boring sport. Marbles for grown ups.
Its a terribly boring sport to watch. Terribly frustrating sport to play. Shots like this are pure luck and rare.

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.
