Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, aka MKBHD, couldn't hold his excitement after making a birdie at the 2023 Open Invitational.

The 2023 Open Invitational took place at the Royal Liverpool on Sunday, July 16, where personalities from different fields participated. The names included athletes such as England football stars Jordan Pickford and Jermaine Jenas, NFL star Victor Cruz, boxer Tony Bellew, and Indian cricket legend Yuvraj Singh.

Besides sportspeople, the Open Invitational also included well-known influencers like Calfreezy, Margaux Brooke, Marques Brownlee, actress Kathryn Newton, actor and presenter Bradley Walsh, and singer Ronan Keating.

On one of the holes during the event, Brownlee made a clutch putt for a birdie. However, between the time he hit the shot and the ball going in, the whole team seemed nervous and was praying for the ball to go in.

At one point, Brownlee and Newton sat down, praying for the ball to go into the cup. The moment the ball sank in, Brownlee couldn't hold his excitement and celebrated the hole with his teammates.
