Webb Simpson played a stunning shot over the trees to shoot an eagle during the third round of the 2024 RBC Heritage on Saturday.

Simpson is tied for 49th with 3-under through 36 holes. He hit a decent tee shot on the 15th hole but found his second shot blocked by trees. He played a 260 yard high-draw to stick the shot six feet from the hole.

Tensions were high, as he set up to play the right to left breaking putt for eagle. Simpson seemed to have under-read the break but caught the bottom lip of the cup to drain the putt for eagle.

Here's the video:

The seven-time PGA Tour winner's eagle on the 15th hole was his second eagle of the 2024 RBC Heritage. He made an eagle on the par-4 hole 9 during his second round after a 30-yard bunker shot for eagle found the hole.

He quickly recovered from the double-bogey with an eagle on the 15th hole. Simpson ended his round missing the green with his approach on hole 18 and carded a bogey. He ended round three tied for 49th at 3-under with one eagle, four birdies, 10 pars, two bogeys and one double-bogey.
