LOL. Awesome, I like how he actually caught up to his approach shot while it was still rolling in one of the clips

I'd probably score better playing this way, my biggest problem is getting in my own way mentally, hard to do that while running at full speed from shot to shot!

Haha, that is awesome and quite impressive. Personally, if I just ran through 18 holes, without playing, it would take about 30 minutes - assuming a 7000 yd course (roughly 4 miles) at about a 7.5 min pace. Crazy!

Interesting. Guy who won won by a large margin. Beat the 2nd guy by one stroke but had 7 minutes on him.

I wonder how the PGA guys would do? Some of them run to stay fit. They'd probably shoot in the low 70s or even break 70? Woods ran 3 milers, no? I bet Adam Scott, Justin Rose, Villegas, Ogilvy would shoot low 70s, break 70, how fast, I dunno.

That's pretty amazing.  Who are the other guys around him?  Presumably rules guys or scorers?  Why the heck do they have to run too??? ;)

If I tried to do that, I would end up in the hospital, most likely. ;)
