Tyler Duncan posted a 7-under 65 on the second round of the Corales Puntacana Championship to finish at T-4 after two rounds of golf. He holed an impressive eight birdies and just one bogey in the second round on Friday. However, one of the eight birdies was such that Duncan will remember the rest of his career.

During the second round of the event at Puntacana Resort and Club, Tyler Duncan hit a tee shot at the par-4 15th hole. The moment he hit the golf ball, the driver's head left the shaft, leaving his stick headless.

The PGA Tour posted the video on Twitter with the caption:

"You never know what you’ll see on TOUR 😳"

But that didn't stop Duncan from hitting another birdie, which left social media amused.

Here's a look at some of the Twitter reactions.
