The famed 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, with its island green, has doomed many a player’s round over the years. But on Sunday, Jhonattan Vegas conquered it in epic fashion.
Looking at a 70-footer for birdie after nearly hitting it off the green, Vegas poured in the longest made putt ever on this hole.
The longest putt on 17 … EVER.
