The Creator Classic took center stage at East Lake on Wednesday with Good Good Golf’s Brad Dalke winning the event—and the $100K prize—in clutch fashion. But it was another YouTube golfer who was busy breaking a world record.
That would be Henry Grillo, who set a new standard for long putts by draining one from 466(!) feet. Although, when you see the swing Henry had to take to hit a putt that far, it doesn’t look as much like a putt.
Anyway, check it out as Grillo sinks a bomb that takes 17 seconds to find the bottom of the cup—and then sinks himself into a pond to celebrate:
Great stuff, Henry. Although, you might want to check that putter face for damage. You gave that thing quite a rap.
Now, in case you’re wondering, the previous official Guinness World Record for longest putt was 401 feet by Jay Stocki. However, PGA Tour winner and YouTube star Wesley Bryan recorded himself making one from 432 feet last summer. And Grillo challenged Bryan on Instagram, saying, “your move.”
We’ll see if Wes—or anyone else—takes the challenge. But for now, enjoy that world record, Henry.
