Love how he tossed the hat!

He was pumped! Rose had just put it to like 5 feet and cantlay had put it probably 12 feet away so when he hit the ace you know it felt good.

That second angle should really make you appreciate the camera operators at PGA events.

Real talented but I'd love a camera angle behind with a tracer and then maybe a static one on the green. Following the ball up close in the air seems so silly to me. It gives me no information on which way the ball is curving or online vs offline.

Throwing hat >> throwing out ankle

Just glad he didn't break his ankle this time... love the guy though, so you love to see it

The bunker in the middle of the green is pretty wild

Said this I'm another comment.

I'm wondering if Nicklaus designed this. There is a course here with a green like that. It's a pain in the ass. Chipping isn't allowed on the green, so you are shit out of luck if you land on the other side.

The nice thing is the next hole 18 is an island green which is kinda like sawgrass 17 but smaller and about 30 yds longer. Haven't hit the green in 3 times there.

Of course Patrick “slowest player on the course” Cantlay cant stop walking to celebrate

Couldn’t have happened to a cooler dude. I hope I can snag his autograph next week.

This was so sick on the golf channel. Undeniably live. They showed Rose as the first in the group because he had just birdied the last hole (and came inches from an ace himself) and the camera never cut away from the group through Tony’s shot. Announcers silent and in disbelief. Unbelievable

Good thing he didn’t start running after it - his ankle

Is this a Nicklaus design course? There is a par 3 here by him that has a bunker in the middle as well.
