If only he had next year's M5, he could've made it!
Unreal. Do we know whether that was one of the new M3/M4 models?

He said the new M4.
Willis Well, that one will sell an extra few models now.
All he needed was "3 more inches"....
Typhoon according to the "Play by play" on the PGA Tour scoreboard, it was it as 6 inches, but who's counting?
To be fair, that 6" measurement is likely to the center of the hole, but whatever...
Sickening.
What an "amateur" error! DJ had been playing those greens for how many rounds? He knew they were slow. Shoulda hit it harder!!!!
You could see he didnโt go hard after that, clearly his lack of touch on the greens is starting to show itself again.
DJ drives # 6 on Friday and was a little long leading to a 3 putt. It's obvious he put more emphasis on where to leave the approach shot in the OP's video to improve his scoring....

I've dreamed about making a big catch in the World Series or Superbowl, and of bowling a 300 game, or a last round knockout in a middle weight title fight. All things that at one time I was at least physically able to do even though I never wanted to do the work to get to those situations. I can't even dream of driving a hole that long no matter how much downhill or downwind. Might as well dream that I'm making a Michael Jordan dunk from the free throw line.
In a men's Open tourney a few years back a youngish lad in the group a couple behind me made an ace on a 358 yard straightaway par 4. It was an incredible feat not just because of the length of the hole ( there was a slight tail wind) but because the green on this hole runs on a diagnal from from left to back right , is severly sloped uphill to a crest 2/3 up then downhill with side slope from there. Pin was in back left corner . He won a healthy 5-6 hundred dollar skin for the feat.
On the same course a few years earlier i came within 18 or so inches ( i think it gets closer each time i tell the story) of an ace on another par 4 , this one only 301 yards but requires you to fly the ball onto the surface as you cant run it up. That eagle netted me a $700 skin. Nit quite the million$ DJ won yesterday
I saw the highlight today, as heโs walking up the fairway, he says โ caught it a little thin, left it shortโ. He might be my new favorite golfer just based on that Hahahaha.
ZWExton He was playing the M4 at 9.5, if it were only 9.
My SIL once drove a 300yd par 4 that had a slight dog-leg left. It was his first time on that course. We could not see the shot result due to the dog leg, but I knew it was going to be good. We found his ball about 3 inches from the cup for a nice tap-in eagle. That was fun to watch. I told my daughter that if she ever broke up with him, I was keeping him.
The 12th at Kapalua has always been drivable by the longer hitters, depending on the wind. The hole plays about 50-60 yards shorter on a calm day, given the topography of the hole. Add a helping wind and it plays more like 350-360 yards. Which nevertheless is impressive, mind you...
Bubba's shot on his 2nd shot @ 18, with his second shot with driver off the deck from 305 yards, leading to eagle back in 2011 was a wee bit more impressive imo.
Yes, these guys are good. Especially if they have the luxury of a 6-7 shot lead and don't have to fret over a perchance bogey if their aggressiveness is penalized.
Dear Heaven, if I could only do that on a few of my second shots!
