Payne said he hit the ball using his driver, and observed how he hit the descending slope of a bunker before rolling directly to the cup.

Payne had been playing that same course for 30 years without scoring an AS, Swns reported.

“Some people have never had one in their lives and I can see why,” he said.
“I’ve been playing for 30 years and I only have one now. It’s a miracle because it’s very difficult.”
Given his poor view, Payne didn’t see the ball fall.
“It is a unique photo in life.”
“You play with other people and your view is much better than mine,” he said.
“They gave me a comment running when the ball landed.”
