Mikko Korhonen's pitch to the 13th finds the bottom of the cup, but the hole appears to spit his ball back out!

Mikko Korhonen could not believe his eyes after his ball appeared to defy the laws of physics and hop back out of the hole on the final day of the BMW SA Open.

Korhonen was about to celebrate an eagle on the par-five 13th at Glendower Golf Club when his pitch from just inside 100 yards took one bounce short of the pin and found the bottom of the cup on the second hop.

But the Finn was left dumbfounded when his ball suddenly reappeared and settled a few inches from the hole, leaving him a tap-in for birdie.

It was an amazing stroke of bad luck for the 36-year-old, although he did well to recover his composure and make birdies at the 15th and 17th to secure a top-10 finish in his first appearance of the 2017 season on the European Tour.
