18-year-old pro Yanhan Zhou rips astonishing 514-yard drive at DP World Tour event
18-year-old Yanhan Zhou hit a massive 514-yard tee shot Saturday during a DP World Tour event in Denmark.
Eighteen-year-old professional golfer Yanhan Zhou made history on Saturday during the third round of the DP World Tour's Danish Golf Championship. The youngster from China sent a tee shot of 514 yards, an extraordinary feat in the sport. The hole in question was the par-5 fifth hole at Great Northern, a downhill tee shot measuring 598 yards.
Despite the immense distance, Zhou's ball was propelled further by a concrete assist, leaving spectators in awe. At just 18 years old, Zhou has shown immense talent and potential. The remarkable drive earned him relief for his second shot, as he had to drop in the rough, ultimately finishing the hole with a par. With only 104 yards left on the nearly 600-yard hole, Zhou remains in contention as the tournament progresses on Sunday in Denmark.
While there are other documented instances of players hitting 500-yard drives, Zhou's achievement is particularly impressive as it occurred during a major professional golf event.
