Aaron Baddeley mad birdie

[Khamelion]

So you're standing on a driveable par 4 and you hit your tee shot out of bounds, do you play safe with your third? Not if you're Aaron Baddeley.

On the 17th in the Valero Texas Open, a driveable par 4 playing 336yds, he hits his first long left and OOB, tee's up another ball, plays his third and sinks it for a birdie a 336yd birdie.

He must have felt amazing and crap at the same time

Cant find footage of it though, seems it didn't get filmed

I know the feeling, I've sunk a 140 yard 8 iron for par

I had a similar experience around 3 years ago, 332yd 11th at my course in club championships. Hit my tee shot very well and knew it was going to be up there, 4 ball on the green were raising there arms and at the time I thought not happy! When I got to green my ball was 4ft from pin and after speaking to the group in front they were actually clapping as my ball lipped out on the hole!
Missed eagle putt and got my birdie but would of been great for my first hole in one!

Amazing!

I remember when I was 13 in a big inter-club competition and I disgracefully missed the ball off the tee, completely missed it. There were probably 30-40 people watching and I wanted to die, I then regained composure and planted it down the middle. I proceeded to then hole a 6 iron for birdie! It didn't help me settle though as I was all over the place with that.

Read about this earlier. Rather amusing, a bit like Freddie Couples' par at the 17th at Sawgrass a few years back.

I did something similar at Christmas - driveable par 4, hit my 5w and lost it in the air, the group in front were waving their arms so I thought I'd hit it long and they weren't happy, when I got to the green I was 6inches away from a HIO!
