‘Giving us nightmares!’ Watch Zalatoris go viral with latest yippy putt

19th hole

Aug 19, 2022

Watch as Willy Z goes viral once again with a difficult-to-watch putt at the BMW Championship

Will Zalatoris is the man of the moment after picking up his first PGA Tour victory at the FedEx St Jude Championship – the win seeing him go top of the FedEx Cup Playoff standings.

But despite producing a phenomenal putting display at TPC Southwind – one so good he couldn’t help but shout “what are they gonna say now?!” at the haters – Zalatoris has given fans plenty to berate him about once again after a yippy effort at the BMW Championship.

Finishing up on a solid first day at Wilmington, the American had the simplest putts for par on the par-4 18th, until this happened…

Yikes.

Naturally, the video soon went viral, and of course Twitter had a field day…

I have an insane amount of respect for @WillZalatoris . He is obviously dealing with some level of anxiety that manifests over short putts. Imagine having to deal with your crippling anxiety Infront of millions of people. Who keep telling you how bad you look. #ManInTheArena

Whenever anyone says I’ve got it figured out I tell them to make sure you enjoy it because it’s only temporary, golf is a hard game. Will Z is one tough kid, his confidence will never waver. https://t.co/NBVySgSHNZ

Your most recent PGA Tour winner Will Zalatoris has some demons on the short putts.

I think he almost missed the ball….. pic.twitter.com/6YyglpgSoY

And, after closing with a 70 on day one, it wasn’t just Zalatoris’s putting stroke which had social media in hysterics. Check out this hilarious moment where he decided to take a sneak peak in Scottie Scheffler’s bag…

Wait … what club was that? pic.twitter.com/ZTNmXtowmm
