“Apparently this @BKoepka tee shot went a little long and landed on a different island,” wrote the account. It’s a back shot of the 31-year-old, who visibly puts too much power into the shot. To everyone’s surprise, it lands on the opposing island.

“I didn’t notice it the first time. Wow,” wrote one fan. “That was quite an iron”. 

“425 yards out, he’s looking at about a 6 iron,” said another fan.

Most fans marveled at the distance Koepka actually played. Some joked about the shot, wondering if they could hit over the mountains. Of course, some people mentioned Bryson DeChambeau.
