Rasmus Hojgaard: WATCH: Rasmus Hojgaard saves birdie from the fence at the WM Phoenix Open

Rasmus Hojgaard nailed an unbelievable birdie at the ongoing WM Phoenix Open on Sunday. He is currently playing in the final round at the Stadium Course in TPC Scottsdale.

Playing on the par-4 fifth hole, Hojgaard's hit almost sent the ball out of the park. However, thankfully, it bounced a couple of times in the desert before landing a few feet away from the fence.

Although he now had a direct path to the greens, Hojgaard still had a minimal hitting space and several distractions around, including a line of trees partially blocking his vision. But the Danish star hit an exceptional shot that landed the ball 61 feet away from the hole. He then putted the ball beautifully as it rolled down the cup.

PGA Tour shared this insane birdie from Rasmus Hojgaard on their social media channels on Sunday.

At the time of writing, the 23-year-old is placed in T10 with a total score of 13-under. Thomas Detry is currently leading the standings at the WM Phoenix Open.
