Yanhan Zhou did something hardly accomplished in the game of golf.
The 18-year-old professional hit a 514-yard tee shot Saturday during the third round of the DP World Tour's Danish Golf Championship. The par-5 fifth hole at Great Northern is a downhill tee shot with a cart path along the right side of the hole. It measures 598 yards, but Zhou's ball was hammered and then had some concrete ****** istance on its way to a monster mash.
Perhaps the worst part of this incredible tee shot is there is no video of it. Only evidence on the DP World Tour's website via shot tracing.
Zhou got relief for his second shot and had to drop in the rough, hitting a stellar shot onto the green and two putting for par. He had only 104 yards left for his approach on the nearly 600-yard hole.
He remains in contention as play winds down Sunday in Denmark.
