As ever when the best golfers in the world descend on a course for a major there are some incredible shots and this week's US Open at the Los Angeles Country Club is proving to be no different.
With a round to go it would appear however that a Cameron Young shot from round three is going to live long in the memory.
On the tenth hole yesterday the American somehow managed to drive his ball into the ball holder of a golf buggy some 300 yards away.
While he was at first disgusted by his poor tee shot he was left in a state of surprise when he discovered his ball lying in the holder.
"Nobody will believe this."

The world number 17 was eventually able to take a drop into the rough after some discussion with rules officials.
He would go onto make a par, quiet impressive given where he was.
Young currently sits on level-par for the tournament in a tie for 20th place after a two-under-par round on moving day.
The lead is shared by fellow Americans Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark on ten-under-par.
Clark's best ever finish in a major came in 2021 when he finished 75th at the US PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in South Carolina.
Fowler has also never won a major but has come close on several occasions. The former world number four has finished second at the Masters, Open Championship and US Open.
The pair tee off tonight at 10:30pm Irish Time.
One shot behind them is Rory McIlroy, who carded a one-under-par round of 69 overnight to remain firmly in contention.
It has been nine years since the now 34-year-old McIlroy won a major. That year the Hollywood native came out on top at the US PGA at Valhalla Golf Club and Open Championship at Royal Liverpool.
He tees off at 10:19pm.
