INCREDIBLE Denny McCarthy Sinks ‘Hole-in-One’…After Ball Bounces Off Fan and into Chair Cup Holder

GOLFER Denny McCarthy hit an amazing "hole-in-one" after his ball bounced off a fan and into a chair cup holder.

On the par-four second, McCarthy's tee shot went well off target and hit a spectator sitting down.

Sensationally, the ball then landed in the fan's cup holder and commentators and McCarthy himself joked it was a hole-in-one.

McCarthy said: "Long-range hole-in-one. That's a hole-in-one."

Fans online could not believe the shot and were quick to reference Adam Sandler's 1996 comedy classic Happy Gilmore.

Another added: "They made Shooter McGavin play it of Frankensteins fat foot. I say play it as it lies."

One commented: "INCREDIBLE."

Another said: "Ah, just give him the hole in one, and be done with it."

Despite the unlucky lie, McCarthy even managed to make birdie.

McCarthy was able to take a drop with no penalty and then hit his shot to within 35 feet of the hole.

He then sinked a long-range putt to record the extraordinary birdie.

McCarthy went on to card a final round of 70 to finish 20th at the St Jude Championship.
