Watch: College basketball fan makes full-court putt (94 feet) for $5,000

Imagine going to a basketball game only to play golf.

Imagine going to a basketball game only to play golf.

That’s what one lucky Butler fan got to do Wednesday, as the Bulldogs took on Xavier in a men’s college basketball game. As is tradition at most sporting events, there was some entertainment during a timeout where a fan had a chance to hit a full-court putt to win some money.

Well, this lucky kid is a savant at reading the hardwood.

He hit the putt, and it rolled the full 94 feet before going into the hole that was likely half the size of a real golf hole. He probably should’ve gotten more than $5,000 for the putt, but nevertheless, that’s more money leaving than he had coming in.

Somebody get this kid in the next signature event.

And he’s not the only person to do it in this year. At Indiana State in January, another fan made a putt for $10,000.
