They say you have to play it where it lies, but golfer Cameron Young quite literally couldn’t hit his ball from one improbable spot at this year’s U.S. Open on Saturday.
Yes, Young somehow turned a tee shot into a shocking landing spot as the ball made its way into a reporter’s golf cart and nestled itself into one of the golf ball holders on the cart’s front console.
The broadcast announcers sounded just as stunned as anyone, and Young shared in their disbelief once he finally made it over to the golf cart where his ball was resting.

The little golf ball holder in this golf cart is probably going to be one of the most ludicrous landing spots for a golf ball in U.S. Open history, and Young will surely want to keep this ball in a special place to remember the moment.
"Nobody will believe this."

Like how? It feels like either Bugs Bunny had a magnet that got the golf ball over there, Space Jam-style, or it really was just the luck of the hit.
