INTERNATIONAL: Professionals usually take 10 to 15 minutes to complete a hole on a golf course, but four European Tour players have teamed up to set a new Guinness World Record. They managed it in less than 30 seconds.
Sean Crocker, Nicolai Hojgaard, Min Woo Lee and Wilco Nienaber took up the challenge to break the record of 27.88 seconds set by an American team in 2018. The hole chosen was the fourth at Valderrama Golf Club in Spain which is 501 yards long.
After several failed attempts over more than two hours, Nienaber finally launched a 361-yard drive onto the fairway where Crocker waited for the ball to come to a stop. His 140-yard approach shot landed within four feet of the hole. Lee sank the putt as Hojgaard lifted the flag. The judges then reviewed the footage and declared the official time to be 24.75 seconds.
