Moving forward to the eight-hole of his front nine. Again, Rickie drove his ball into the cactus area and had no stance whatsoever to hit his ball right-handed. So, he decides to hit his shot left-handed. Rick took his club, left-handed, and hit an absolute beauty to recover from his wayward drive. Probably hitting one of the best shots of the 2022 season so far. The contact was too sweet and as a result, the ball trickled off the fairway.
