The difference with those two putts is that they were struck by professional golfers. That’s not to say 94-footers on any surface, green or hardwood, are easy, but these guys know what they are doing. That’s what makes this latest full-courter all the more impressive, because of the fact it came from a regular Clemson college student at the Tigers game vs. Louisville on Saturday. Our man didn’t even need a practice stroke:

Never. A. Doubt. Incredible putt from a guy who has never played golf before:

Not only did he have zero experience, but they gave him an absolutely whack, 1950s putter. Chris Carns had everything working against him and was still able to walk away $10,000 richer. Well done sir.

For many PGA Tour pros, out of sight is out of mind. Such is the case with Jeff Overton, who has played just twice since last July—a T-21 at a Web.comTour stop in the Bahamas in January and a missed cut at the Honda Classic in March.

On the occasion of Overton’s 34th birthday on Sunday, however, his wife, Christina, took to Twitter to explain what’s been going on with her husband and why he hasn’t been seen inside the ropes in a while.

Turns out that Overton, best known for his boom-baby cry at the 2010 Ryder Cup, recently had seemingly routine surgery for a herniated disc, only to wind up getting a life-threatening infection in his spine that required an emergency operation.

“Today we’re celebration his health and life,” Christina wrote. “I’ve learned that life is precious and health is something we take for granted. I’ve also learned how to flush a picc line and make a chair, very, VERY comfortable.”

Best wishes to the Overtons. Here’s hoping the worst is behind you.
