Tiger Woods entered the final round of the Farmer’s Insurance Open five shots back of leader John Rahm, and the 15-time major champion could have closed the gap early in his round if not for a hole literally spitting his ball out.
After beginning his round with a bogey on the first hole, Woods hit a perfect approach shot on the Par-4 second that looked like it was going to bounce in for eagle. Actually, it did, but the problem was it didn’t stay there. You may never see this again:

It’s not uncommon for a shot to hit the flag and bounce away, but that ball was literally in the hole. While there’s nothing wrong with a tap-in birdie, Tiger was robbed of an eagle.
