Justin Thomas recently recorded a crazy par at No. 10 in the ongoing AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. The US golfer hit a shot from a slope and almost tripped while doing so.
Thomas found himself in a literal tough spot, as his ball landed on a slanting edge. He still gave a bracing attempt and managed to hit a decent shot. However, he lost his footing in doing so and almost fell over on the uphill end of the slope. Thankfully, he managed to regain balance with the aid of his golf club as he walked towards the course.
Eventually, Thomas made par on the hole with a putt as spectators cheered around. He could be heard saying later:
"Just hit the fairway, then I could do that and make birdie."
The PGA Tour shared a broadcast snippet from Golf Channel of the bizarre incident on Saturday. The caption said:
"Some pars are more thrilling than others."
However, some fans weren't impressed by Justin Thomas' insane par. While certain fans believed that it was all an act, some weren't happy with the golfer's attempts. They gave their opinions in the comment section.
"JT always being fake ," wrote one fan.
"All an act!" tweeted another.
"Pathetic," one fan wrote.
"A 10 handicap would shoot 1,000 in those conditions," another added.
Some fans found the attempt from the slanting edge to be dangerous and risky.
"Not worth the risk." one fan said.
"Someone is gonna fall of that cliff one year and it’s going to be devastating for that tournament," another warned.
In the ongoing Round 3, Justin Thomas is placed T23 with a score of 8-under at the time of writing.
