Watch Sepp Straka hit shot into water, Will Zalatoris flirt with disaster on chaotic third playoff hole

Will Zalatoris nearly hit his tee shot in the water on the third playoff hole in Sunday’s FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.

Sepp Straka one-upped Zalatoris by bouncing into the water hazard himself on his tee shot.

What a chaotic third playoff hole on the 11th hole in Memphis.

Zalatoris’ tee shot wedged between the rough and the rock wall next to the greenside water hazard short and right of the hole on the 11th. Straka then hit his tee shot in a similar spot, bouncing twice off the rock wall before falling into the water.

Zalatoris took several minutes to decide whether he would go back to the drop zone, some 80 yards or more from the hole. Straka had no choice and put his third shot into the back greenside bunker.

Zalatoris eventually decided to use the drop zone, hit his third shot to within 6 feet and made the putt for the win.

“To see that decision pay off at the last (playoff hole) was pretty cool,” Zalatoris told the NBC broadcast after the playoff ended with tears in his eyes.
