Golfer Wins Rs 8 Crore: Skill, precision, and years of experience set sports apart. On occasions, however, sheer destiny redefines everything. It happened at the BMW Championship in America, where Tommy Fleetwood, a professional golfer, came through this extra win which was by an absolutely strange helper, a fly.
He took an all-important shot, and it looked nearly perfect. To everyone’s dismay, however, the ball just inches short from the hole. Fans, and perhaps even Fleetwood himself, thought that the opportunity had gone. Just then, a tiny fly landed on the stationary ball. When the insect moved, it made the ball to roll forward enough to drop it right into the hole.
Fleetwood’s ‘lucky shot’ turned into a winning moment, and with it, an entire crowd uproar on surprise and happiness, making disappointment actually become a defining success in one’s career.
That one stroke, aided by a tiny insect, made a huge difference. Not only did he win a match, but now his name is on the line for an impressive prize of $900,000 (around ₹8 crore). The story has since gone totally viral and has called it perhaps one of the strangest and most unforgettable moments in golf history.
Golf is a game that requires utter attentiveness, accuracy, and patience, and yet the winning shot from Fleetwood will remind one that sometimes, luck plays the final card. An even badly skilled athlete can gain from the stroke of fate, where it may be brought from the weather, chance occurrences, and in this instance, the fly.
