In the United States, it was not only the Super Bowl who created the event this weekend. The Phoenix Open, a tournament of
golf, was held in Scottsdale, Arizona until Sunday. And the least we can say is that the atmosphere was supercharged. This PGA Tour tournament is considered one of the craziest on the circuit.
For this edition, the fans went wild twice around hole number 16, a mythical place surrounded by stands worthy of a football stadium that can accommodate 16,000 people, specifies The Parisian. Two golfers hit a “hole in one”, triggering public hysteria.
Get hype.

beers in the sky
American Sam Ryder first got the ball in the hole in a single attempt on Saturday. Result: an explosion of joy in the stands, with glasses flying and beer thrown into the sky before finishing on the green. The next day repeated twice with Mexican Carlos Ortiz. Fifteen minutes of interruption would have been necessary for the next player to resume.
As reminded The Parisianthe last golfer to achieve this feat on hole number 16 at the Phoenix Open was Italian Francesco Molinari in 2015.
