I'm not sure if Graeme McDowell has ever played a game of H-O-R-S-E in his life, but if he hasn't, someone needs to tell him to pull this trick shot out of the bag when the game is on the line. To set the stage for this absurd shot, McDowell, playing in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, thins his approach shot from the bunker on the 18th hole and looks destined to hit the next shot from the grandstand.
But instead of hitting a shot that would have made Happy Gilmore smile, GMac got some seriously good luck -- luck of the Irish, of course -- as the ball ricocheted off the grandstand and onto the green ... only a couple feet from the hole for birdie. And yes, he made the putt.
I hope McDowell at least calls "glass" the next time he attempts this gem, because I'd hate to see him waste a perfectly good H-O-R-S-E shot in the future.

Was it Gary McCord that said, on Tin Cup, "I think he's going to bank this off the shitter?"
