Jon Rahm hit a ridiculous no-look backward golf shot at the PGA Championship, and it worked
Jon Rahm hits the shot of the day in Sunday’s finale of the PGA Championship.
Jon Rahm was well out of the running for the Wanamaker Trophy when he located his ball right inside the hazard line after hitting his second shot on the par-4 18th hole. No Phil Mickelson, the righty had the option of stripping off his shoes and socks, rolling up his trousers, and hitting the shot from the stream.
Instead, the creative Spaniard turned his back to the flag, flipped his iron around, and, without grounding the stick in the hazard, with his right hand hit a terrific chip shot — his third on the hole — up on to the green.

Rahm went on to make bogey on the hole to end a 4-over 75 final round at Quail Hollow. He walked off the course at 7-over for the week and in a tie for 58th — 14 shots off the 7-under score of tourney leader Kevin Kisner, who was just getting his finale started.
