Billy Horschel made a charge up the leaderboard Sunday at the Valspar Championship, and even if he doesn’t win, he produced the best birdie of the tournament.
Horschel’s second shot on the par-5 fifth settled in the rough near a tree. Unable to take a proper stance right-handed, he opted to turn around and go lefty. From 126 yards, Horschel took a near-perfect swing and hit his approach to 32 feet.
To follow the incredible shot, he made the unlikely birdie (video above). That got Horschel to 2 under for the round and 6 under for the tournament. He kept the momentum going and tied for the lead through his 14th hole, before Justin Thomas pulled two clear on the back nine.
