Alex Noren plays a magnificent flop shot at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship

Alex Noren was seven-under thru 16 and was looking solid at 13th place. However, he had a strenuous approach shot lined up, as he had the infamous bunker with a downhill lie.

Furthermore, a large part of the green was sloping down towards the daunting bunker, and there was a VIP tent immediately after the green. Hence, getting this shot right was impeccable for the Swedish golfer.

He took a 56-degree wedge and played an excellent flop shot, and got the ball pin high with just 4 to 5 feet away to the left. Noren made par on this hole.

He eventually finished this event with a score of -11 and shared the 12th spot. Meanwhile, the golf fans around the world went crazy after seeing this shot, and this is how they reacted.
