“It was too fast. Too furious” – Fans react to Collin Morikawa’s ‘crazy unlucky’ shot in Hawaii

The Sentry Tournament of Champions is underway at the Kapalua Plantation Course, with Collin Morikawa in the lead. Morikawa was tied with Jon Rahm during the tournament's first round, but in the second round, he topped the leaderboard.

During his match in Hawaii, Morikawa hit a shot, and it almost went into the hole. But the ball rolled out and went from the side, missing the spot by a few millimeters.

The PGA Tour shared a video of the crazy, unlucky shot on their Instagram page, where fans took to the comments section to talk about it.

It was unlucky because the ball had almost touched the hole before going down the line. In the video with the caption, "How did this not go?" The fans said:

"It was too fast. Too furious."

Speed was one reason for the unlucky shot, and people talked about it on social media. They commented:

"He hit it too hard."

"Because he missed it".

"Physics is a real jerk sometimes."

"Too fast, wrong line."

"Such a mystery".

Some explained the term 'lip-out' in the comment section. For the uninitiated, "lip-out" is a term in golf used to define the ball when it touches the edges of the hole without falling in.

Fans wrote in the comments:

"It's called lip-out, Happens sometimes."

"Looks like the ball has too much speed and rolled out."

People also talked about the heavy breathing of the announcer on the mic. They wrote:

"Can we talk about the announcer breathing heavily then blamed it on a paint job. He's definitely the guy rounding 9 needing a diet coke."

While another jotted:

"Please turn down Azinger's mic. I'm sick of listening to that dude breathe."

It is important to note that the Sentry Tournament of Champions will have its finale on Sunday, January 8.
