Watch as Charl Schwartzel nails a monster birdie putt at the Valspar Championship
Sunday 13 March 2016 22:37, UK
Charl Schwartzel holed one of the longest putts of the week, and his career, to get within a shot of the lead after 13 holes of his final round at the Valspar Championship.
The South African started the back nine with two bogeys either side of a birdie at 11, and he played to the safe portion of the green at the dangerous par-three 13th to take the water out of play.
As Schwartzel sized up the 65-foot putt, he would have been more than happy to lag it to a few inches, tap in for par and skip to the next tee knowing a tough hole had been safely negotiated.
But the former Masters champion gave his ball a confident strike, and he sent the crowd into raptures as it found the centre of the cup for an unlikely birdie-two.
And Schwarztel went on to birdie 14 and 17 as he posted the low round of the day - a 67 earning him the early clubhouse lead on seven under par.
