A stroke of genius: Basketball fan sinks brilliant 95-foot putt to win himself a brand new car

He made himself some serious wedge...

Basketball fan Patrick Burch was attending a game between his beloved Auburn and Mississippi State when he was randomly selected to take part in a timeout golf challenge. According to the Golf Channel, the b-ball buff had never played golf before but that didn't stop him from perfectly putting to win himself a brand new car or the cash equivalent, a whopping $15, 000.

Congratulations Patrick Burch. Winner of a new car from Lynch Toyota of Auburn. #wareagle pic.twitter.com/PO9UzGKYnn — Auburn Athletics (@AUAthletics) February 15, 2014

Standing at one end of the court, Patrick had to sink a putt into a hole situated in a promotional sign at the other baseline, exactly 95 feet away. Sure, there were no divots to deal with, the green was quite flat and we're pretty sure it hadn't been raining indoors that day, but you have to admit, it is a pretty impressive putt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNi0Rr0x-LI
