Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps can go ahead and add another achievement to his 22 (18 gold) medal record, but this time in golf.
Last Friday (Oct. 5) Michael Phelps sank a putt from more than 150 feet in Scotland. Phelps was apart of the European Tour’s Alfred Dunhill Championship. He was paired with Paul Casey on a pro-team. Phelps reached the green at the par-4, 337-yard No. 6 hole at Kingsbarns with his drive. Seems like Phelps has picked up the game of golf with Hank Haney as his instructor and managing to register as a 24 handicap.
“A 50-yard putt!” Phelps said. “That was the longest putt I’ve ever holed so it was pretty incredible and watching it die in was a cool feeling.” Phelps putt was also the longest putt ever recorded on television according to European Tour Officials. So far Phelps and Casey are 9-under 135 while the pair of Hugh Connerty Jr. and Thongchai Jaidee lead at 21-under.
