Pretty much every sports fan has been to a game where someone is randomly pulled out of the crowd to try and make a basket, shoot a puck, or sink a putt for a large cash prize.
Also, pretty much every sports fan who has watched these people attempt these stunts has never seen anyone actually succeed.
So, when an Indiana State college hoops fan was tasked with making a putt from 95-feet-away during the Sycamores’ game against Missouri State on Tuesday night pretty much no one expected what happened to actually happen.
The fan, Indiana State University senior Camden Harden, showed nerves of steel and ice water in his veins when he lined up on one baseline to putt to the cardboard cutout hole in the center of the board at the other baseline.
In fact, he was so cool he didn’t even put the golf ball on the baseline. He actually lined up the putt from about 95 feet.
When he launched the putt it appeared, based on the logos on the court as the ball traveled across them, that it might be a hair off line.
Turns out, it wasn’t. It was dead solid perfect.
Watch…
“That dude is the Larry Bird of putting!” one viewer wrote in the comments on the video.
“Putt for Dough!” read another comment.
“I was there, the whole place went nuts!” another person shared. “They’ve been doing this promotion for almost 2 years and nobody has won before, we joked that next year the prize will be reduced to a Bic Mac coupon.”
Fox 59 News put the putt in perspective, there was only one putt made on the PGA Tour last season longer than the one Harden sank Tuesday night.
Yes, it was quite a night in Terre Haute. On top of Harden taking home $10K for his miraculous full-court putt, the Sycamores of Larry Bird fame moved to 16-3 on the season, defeating the Bears of Missouri State 88 to 66.
