Pulling out the big stick on the iconic 7th at the US Open venue? You have to see it to believe it

Stop the count! Because we think we’ve just found a clear winner for shot of the year – heck, maybe event shot of the century – courtesy of a club golfer producing magic at Pebble Beach in some of the worst conditions we’ve ever seen.

The scene was the par-3 7th, the iconic coastline hole which plays just under 100-yards off the yellow tees. Typically, this would be just a wedge for even us choppers, but the degree of difficulty reached a whole new level here as gale force winds forced our hero to pull out driver(!) and produce the stuff of legend.

Captured by Michael Knoll on Instagram – which in itself was impressive enough – here’s how the magic played out in all its glory…

Just insane, and one which changes the definition of ‘wet weather golfer’ entirely.
