During the Valero Texas Open, golfer Ludvig Åberg experienced an unusual event when his driver head broke off during a swing at the par-4 17th hole, which was playing 299 yards that day. Despite this setback, Åberg managed to drive the green, leaving himself 11 feet for an eagle opportunity. He successfully made the eagle, scoring a 3, and continued his impressive performance by making three more birdies afterwards. This remarkable recovery not only showcased Åberg's skill but also contributed to his positioning at solo fourth in the tournament standings.

Ludvig drove the par-4 17th, which is playing 299 today. He left himself 11 feet for eagle. What's crazier is that when he hit the shot, his driver head flew off down the fairway. He made 3, got a new driver and made 3 more birdies after this one. Currently solo 4th. https://t.co/4MjEgDmD5j
