Aussie Golfer Sinks Jaw-Dropping Putt, Shattering Worldwide Record
ABU DHABI, UAE – Australian golfer David Micheluzzi etched his name in the history books this past November by sinking a putt for the ages.
The 28-year-old achieved the impossible during the DP World Tour’s Hero Challenge in Abu Dhabi, draining a mind-boggling 139-yard putt on the seventh hole at Yas Links. This incredible feat not only secured him a spot in the tour’s annals, but also shattered the previous record for the longest putt ever, toppling the former mark of just under 134 yards.
Micheluzzi’s feat came after more than 65 of his fellow DP World Tour players, including big names like Tommy Fleetwood, Min Woo Lee, Justin Rose, and Robert MacIntyre, failed to conquer the daunting distance.
"Not going to happen again for a long time, if ever," one fan awestruck by the footage declared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Another chimed in, saying, "Hit and hope, surely?! How the hell do you read a 139-yard run to the cup?!? Staggering!"
“Not a golf fan but this is insane!”
The moment itself was pure magic. After watching his ball arcing toward the impossibly distant hole, Micheluzzi tossed his club high in the air, overcome with joy and disbelief.
Micheluzzi joins a select group of DP World Tour players who hold remarkable world records. Thomas Detry, for example, holds the record for the "Fastest hole of golf by an individual," clocking in a blur-like 1 minute 29.62 seconds to wrap up a Par 5 hole at Spain’s Real Club de Golf Guadalmina.
Currently competing in the Australian Open, Micheluzzi is tied for 33rd after the third day with a score of five under par. He’s nine strokes behind leaders Ryggs Johnston and Lucas Herbert, who are locked in a tight race at the top of the leaderboard.
While the Australian Open remains his immediate focus, Micheluzzi’s record-breaking putt is sure to be a highlight of his career and a talking point for golf enthusiasts around the world.
