You never know what you’ll find when you check Golf Twitter in the middle of the night. Still half asleep while feeding the baby, I suddenly felt a jolt of electricity created by the buzz over a South Korean tour pro. A South Korean tour pro who has the craziest/funniest swing you’ve ever seen in tournament golf. And one who has a chance to qualify for next month’s The Open.

Watch Hosung Choi’s golf swing for yourself. And try to keep from LOLing. It’s impossible.
This can’t be real? https://t.co/HDo6JoqS1n

Oh, but it’s very real. Choi’s action has been dubbed “The Fisherman Swing.” And he’s in serious contention at this week’s Korean Open, where he’s tied through second after three rounds.
They call his swing the 'fisherman'swing ? and they are probably right as Hosung Choi swings his way to the top after round 2 #KolonKoreaOpen #whereitsAT pic.twitter.com/u5dLRhN7aK

Apparently, he goes to this Happy Gilmore-esque finish when he really needs to draw the ball. Although, it sounds like a tip Club Pro Guy would give. Anyway, here are a few more looks at this guy:

I particularly like that last clip when the announcer goes, “That is … extraordinary.” Yes. Yes, it is.
