Wasn’t that a terrible tee shot?
On Thursday at the 2021 PGA Championship, Sebastián Muoz hit the rarest type of hole-in-one, one from which he looked hesitant to recover his ball.
On the 18th hole of Kiawah Island’s Ocean Course, the Colombian golfer blasted his shot out to the left and toward the onlookers.

Muoz, who had made his way up the hole with the roars of the spectators in his ears, glanced into the trash to establish that it was really his ball that was in there.
He may be heard asking, after speaking with a referee:
Unfortunately for the world’s 71st best player, the answer was yes.
He delved into the bag, with the assistance of a steward, to regain his ball, immediately dumping it to a fan, who looked to be overjoyed with her piece of memorabilia.

Muoz, sporting a new ball, took a drop and managed to rescue par on the par-four 18th to remain in contention.
The wind wreaked havoc on competitors on the first day of the 2021 PGA Championship, none more so than Muoz, whose terrible shot pleased many in attendance and on social media.
After an errant tee shot on the first hole of the 2021 PGA Championship and an approach that finished in the sand, the 55-year-old rewinded the clock to 1991, when he won the championship.
Daly chipped in from just outside the green for a birdie, tying him for first place on the leaderboard at one under.

Although it didn’t last long (he concluded with double-bogeys on the third and fourth holes), it was a brief moment of glory for the two-time major champion shortly before 8 a.m. Eastern Time.
His stunning triumph in 1991, when he rose from tenth alternate to first place.
However, since his triumph 30 years ago, the American golfer has struggled for form, only making the cut six times.
Daly won his second major championship in 1995 after winning the Open Championship in a playoff against Costantino Rocca.
Daly is one of golf’s most colourful characters, recognised for his unusual clothing style and penchant for being unique.

On Thursday, he was dressed in his trademark bright slacks and was seen practising with a fizzy drink at his side before his round.
Very on-brand for the golfer known as ‘Wild Thing.’
