DP WORLD TOUR PRO GETS BREAK OF THE YEAR AS BALL MIRACULOUSLY BOUNCES OUT OF WATER HAZARD FOR BIRDIE OPPORTUNITY
Is it better to be lucky than good? For most of us mortals, this is an either/or proposition. You can be lucky or you can be good. Pros, however, sometimes don’t have to choose.
Just ask DP World Tour pro Richie Ramsay, who got the break of the year at the Omega European Masters on Thursday when his approach on the par-5 14th landed in a water hazard, took a big splashy kick out of trouble and sat up nicely in the rough. From there, Ramsay took advantage of his good fortune, turning an almost certain bogey into a fortuitous birdie.

“Oh my God…” Ramsay groaned after chunking his shot, but his prayers were quickly answered as his ball appeared to strike a rock in a shallow part of the hazard, bounding to safety. That left the Scotsman with a routine 27-yard pitch, which he hit to five feet and rolled in for a four.
Though Ramsay made six birdies enroute to a five-under 65 at Crans-sur-Sierre on Thursday, we’re guessing he’ll remember this one a bit more fondly than the rest.
