American Michael Block made an unimaginable hole-in-one over the weekend.
Block participated in the golf PGA Championship in Oak Hill, New York. On the fifteenth hole, Block hit a long and high putt.
The ball fell into the hole like a sock. The crowd immediately screamed with joy.
– Did I go into a hole? Wait a minute. Is not real! From the air, Viaplay’s narrator Antti Vaalas snorted.
Both the narrator and the commentator laughed in disbelief at the performance.
Even Block didn’t believe his trick. He seemed flustered as people came to congratulate him.
– Right? Did it go in? he asked.
On the spot, the audience raised their hats and cheered wildly.
– I saw it (the ball) going towards me. I didn’t know anything, Block explained on the broadcast.
