Schwartzel was then left with approximately 150 yards to a hole he couldn't see. Rather than play a safe shot, Schwartzel hit a draw off the pavement, over the trees, and to within a few feet of the hole.

Unfortunately for Schwartzel, he would miss the birdie putt and finish nine strokes back at the event held in his native South Africa. Here is the video (via The Golf Channel):
