According to Golf Digest, this was the menu for the Masters Champions Dinner chosen by defending champ, Jordan Spieth.
So you’ve seen it done before, someone teeing up a ball in their teeth and a friend hitting the ball with a driver, and you think “What an idiot”.
Now we have our proof of why this is not a good idea.
The video is playing in slow motion, so I am guessing it wasn’t a full power swing but I am sure it still stung. I am also pretty sure that the National Dentist Association does not recommend this sort of activity.
Lydia Ko made enough clutch putts and an amazing approach into the 18th, to go along with poor Ariya Jutanugarn feeling some nerves, to win the LPGA ANA Inspiration (the major formerly known as the Dinah Shore).
As the winner, Ko was able to perform what has become one of the best victory celebrations in sports, a leap into Poppie’s Pond, which guards the 18th green. Here is the leap.
And here are the top-5 shots of the tournament, as determined by Golf Channel.
