Left-handed golfer Brian Harman confused his fans with an amazing first pitch with his right hand at the Atlanta Braves game on Tuesday. He was honored at Truist Park ahead of the Braves hosting the Mets for his incredible performance this year.

The American golfer earned a spot in the 2023 Ryder Cup team after the BMW Championship on Sunday and also won the Open Championship last month.

The former Georgia Bulldog and Savannah Christian golf star plays golf with his left hand but surprisingly he took a solid pitch with his right hand on Tuesday night.

The PGA Tour shared a video of his pitch on its Twitter account with the caption:

"The Champion Golfer of the Year brought the heat 🔥@HarmanBrian threw out the first pitch at tonight's Atlanta Braves game."

Fans commented about their confusion in the comments section of the post.

"Heck of a golfer. NOT a LEFTY," one fan wrote.
"Another righty playing lefty," another commented.
"Interesting that he plays lefty and throws right handed. Opposite of Spieth," another fan chimed in.
