If you ever wondered what three perfect tee shots on the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass to win $1.8 million looked like, here you go.
Deadspin put together this amazing GIF of all three of Rickie Fowler's shots on the 17th hole (one in regulation and two in the playoff). All three were birdies.
Total distance to the hole of the three: 17 feet, 11 inches. That's insane.
"Finally everything clicked, and yeah, to play the last six holes that way and to step up and continue that in the playoff, big thanks to 17. It was a big help this week," said Fowler.
Here's a different vantage point.
