When it comes to unusual results on the golf course, no one tops Louis Oosthuizen. At the Masters alone, the South African has made an albatross on No. 2 in 2012 and a banked-in hole-in-one on No. 16 in 2016. But in Thursday's opening round of the Dunhill Links Championship, Oosthuizen almost had to worry about his golf ball banking off something else: his playing partner.
After his third shot on the par-5 3rd at Kingsbarns went way over the green, Oosthuizen was faced with an awkward — and long — pitch. He clipped the shot expertly, but as it tracked toward the hole, one of his amateur playing partners in the pro-am event had to scramble to get out of the way. Fortunately, he did, and Oosthuizen converted his putt moments later for a bizarre par. Check it out:
