Alejandro Tosti has surprised the golfing world with his impressive eagle on the iconic 13th hole at the 2024 PGA Championship. Tosti is well known for his power drives, and the fans witnessed it again during the final round of the 2024 PGA Championship at the Valhalla Golf Club.
The 13th hole on the final day is a 338-yard par 4, making it a straightforward hole. However, no one has attempted to drive the green apart from Tosti throughout the week since it is an island green.
The tournament has witnessed birdies and eagles, but Tosti became the first golfer this week to drive the green and then hole out for an eagle. Tosti is known for his powerful tee shots, as he is 7th on the PGA Tour's driving distance.

Despite a bogey on the 12th hole, the Argentinian golfer took his driver and, without any hesitation, went for the green. The wind direction was also favourable as with his powerful swing, he generated a ball speed of 180mph, and to everyone's surprise, successfully got the ball just 6 feet away from the pin.
Tosti then completed a straightforward eagle putt to get to -2 for the day and carded even par for the tournament to conclude his round at the 2024 PGA Championship.
After two rounds, Tosti was in a decent position as he remained -5 for the tournament and made it to the weekend. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old golfer had a forgettable moving day round as he carded 79, which ended his dream run at the Valhalla Club.
A quick recap of the 2024 PGA Championship so far
The 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla has lived up to the expectations so far. Xander Schauffele has been leading the tournament since day one, while Collin Morikawa has caught up with him to co-lead the event going into the final day.
Schauffele carded 62 on day one and had an outright lead. His performance on days 2 and 3 was average, with a score of 68 on both days to remain -15 going into the final day. Morikawa has played consistently well since day one, scoring 66, 65, and 67, respectively, to co-lead the event on the final day.
Prominent golfers such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm, and Matt Fitzpatrick missed the cut. Woods carded +7, Mickelson +4, while Rahm and Fitzpatrick finished with E to miss the cut line, which came in at -1.
So, going into the final day, along with Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa, 14 golfers in contention are just 5 strokes behind the lead. Hence, it is going to be a cliffhanger of a finish this week at the Valhalla Golf Club.
