$10,000 Putt Left an Inch Short

You've heard it before, but there is one rule on eagle putts -- you never leave them short. That should also be a rule for someone trying to hole a putt worth $10,000, as Jay Busbee at Devil Ball Golf found.

Bruce Gietzen, a news anchor for an ABC affiliate in Waco,Texas, was the only qualifier at a tournament to get a chance at the $10,000 putt, measured off about 60 feet or so from the cup.

Gietzen stroked the putt, anxiously awaited the fate, and as it's rolling you almost think the thing is going to drop dead center. How close was it to dropping? Video after the jump ...


I love that his fellow anchor told him it was a surprise to see him in the office.

In the future, Bruce, if you have a shot to win, just make sure you get it there. That's all we ask.
