The golfer risked it all on the 11th hole.
PGA Tour golfer Akshay Bhatia risked it all Thursday with his putt on the 11th hole at the BMW Championship.
Sitting 62 feet above the hole after his tee shot hit the green on the par-3 11th, Bhatia rolled a red-hot putt downhill toward the cup with some dangerous speed. To Bhatia's luck, the golf ball hit the pin and bounced out, landing just one inch away from the hole. If that putt didn't hit the pin, it was undoubtedly going to soar off the green.Sometimes in golf, being lucky is better than being good.
Bhatia, the No. 28-ranked golfer in the world, was even par through 16 holes when the event was suspended at 3:35 p.m. ET due to dangerous weather conditions. He'll be four strokes behind the leader, Corey Conners, when the BMW Championship resumes Friday.Tom Dierberger is a staff writer and editor on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
