'Happy Gilmore stuff': Topless golfer sinks eagle chip from the water

Unbelievable! American golfer Kevin Dougherty removed his shirt to play a shot from the water – and nailed it.

The crowd at the Savannah Golf Championship couldn’t believe their eyes.

Dougherty found his playable shot sitting on the edge of the water on the par-4 fifth hole at The Landings Club’s Deer Creek Course.

But the 27-year-old decided to play the shot topless, in order not to ruin his shirt.

The American sent mud and grass flying as he hacked the ball out, and incredibly watched it drop in for an eagle.
