Did a fly help this pro golfer sink an epic shot – and walk away with millions on the PGA Tour? The viral theory might seem far-fetched, but there’s a gnat-sized shot that there MIGHT be something to it! The viral putt is certainly making the rounds, in part due to the colorful commentary. The riveting clip posted by Sky Sports Golf has 3.6 million views on Instagram. It was also reshared on Reddit, where it racked up 18,000 upvotes, under the highly misleading title: “A golfer won more than $2 million thanks to a fly” The golfer in question is 34-year-old Tommy Fleetwood from the UK. He did, in fact, make the fortunate birdie during the final round of the BMW Championship, held in Maryland last week. The PGA’s 10-second rule boded well for Fleetwood. A player is allowed up to 10 seconds to see if a ball will fall into the cup, if it has come to a rest on the edge.
