We’ve seen some crazy bounces in this week’s PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
Jhonattan Vegas got a bounce off a rake on Friday that led to a birdie putt (that he unfortunately missed).

Jon Rahm got a bounce off a spectator’s head on Saturday (that led to a bogey).

But maybe the best bit of luck came Sunday, when Tommy Fleetwood dumped his approach on the par-5 seventh into the water, only to watch this happen:

Unfortunately for Fleetwood, a 5-over 76 on Saturday took him out of contention, so the eagle is part of him playing out the string Sunday.
