I saw him hit a ball at the 2015 us open I still can’t believe. He had a sand wedge into a 540 yard par 4. I still think it’s in orbit somewhere. One of the most amazing things in sports I’ve ever seen and I saw the original dream team play in person

I love how his brother says he can hand him the wrong club, and he will hit it the right distance anyways b/c his feel is so incredible.
Different level.

Flew the green from 289 today on a par 5, second shot. Landed past pin high stopped 10 yards over the green. Unreal

I can’t even imagine hitting my driver 50 times in a row. I’d be exhausted

I know an old football coach that was at his high school in Columbia. He said he was easily the best athlete there.
