Watch: Billy Horschel swings lefty, makes improbable birdie at 2025 Valspar Championship
Billy Horschel reminded us yet again that these guys are good on the PGA Tour. First, Horschel found a spot of bother at the par-5 fifth hole at Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, Florida, during the final round of the 2025 Valspar Championship.
His second shot stopped in the left rough, 126 yards from the hole. With tree trouble preventing him from taking much of a swing right-handed, Horschel turned to the other side and flipped his club over for a lefty swipe at it and hit a beauty. How good? It landed on the green, stopping 32 feet from the hole.
"Wow, what a shot!" exclaimed Mark Rolfing on Golf Channel.
"No way!" What did we just watch?" wondered colleague in the booth, Smylie Kaufman. He later added, "What amazed me was it looked like a normal wedge shot in the air at the apex and everything."
"How good was that?" host Steve Sands said. "That's the shot of the day."
But Horschel wasn't done yet. He rolled in the putt for an unlikely birdie. Horschel and caddie Micah Fugitt couldn't help smiling and having a giggle over their highway robbery.
Unbelievable lefty shot from @BillyHo_Golf!

"That was something else," Sands said.
"That is the up-and-down of all time," Kaufman gushed. "What did we just watch?"
A wild, improvisational birdie that will go down as one of the shots of the tournament.
