American golfer Kelly Kraft has pulled off one of the more ridiculous shots in recent times to save an unlikely par at the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois.
On the 531-yard par-5 17th hole, the 28-year-old shanked his first shot of the hole horrifically, to the point where his
ball landed on the ledge of a hospitality structure located far away to the left of the fairway, about 330 yards from the hole, only 188 yards from the tee.
In comparison, Kraft had earlier whacked his drive 310 yards to the centre of the fairway on the 561-yard par-5 2nd hole, and managed to score a birdie, while on Friday, he made par on the very same 17th hole after sending his tee shot 277 yards to land on the edge of the fairway.
The 2015 Chitimacha Louisiana Open champion needed to produce something special with his second shot if he had any chance of salvaging anything from the hole.
