If you play golf for a long enough time, you will get some good and bad bounces, as well as good and bad. PGA Tour Pro Patton Kizzire is sure to play golf long enough that he won one of the luckiest breaks you’ll see at the 2025 3m Open when his shot was destined to supply water and shed off the floating sign and brought to the Miracle Birds.
Floating sign turns Patton Kizzire’s penalty into a bird
On Friday, at the 3m Open, Kizzire worked hard to lay off employees. He opened the game with a 69-shot below 69 on Thursday, but he needed to play again for the weekend due to five-fifths.
He opened round 2 in the last nine games and quickly made the birdie in 10 and 12, shifting it to 4 and approaching the magic number. But bogey soon returned to two below at the age of 14 and 16.
He needs to play the best golf the rest of the way to survive and earn two more serving time, thus giving himself an offense to enter the FedEx Cup playoffs.
The 18th hole on the par 5 provides an excellent opportunity to seize the opportunity. Kizzire has the all-green light to get green in 2 when his 320-yard bomb finds the fairway from the tee.
Only 233 yards separate him from the putter. That and a large pond guard the green with a circular 3m open sign, shaped like a golf ball, floating above it.
Thanks to the pond, he needed to fly all the way to the green to build the eagle. But from the connection, Kizzire never had a chance to shoot. He was so unfortunate that it would have fallen into the green for at least 20 yards and fell into the water for a depth of at least 20 yards.
But when the TV camera follows his ball instead of jumping into the water, it goes straight into the floating 3m open sign. Then it bounced off the sign, soaring safely over the water, green long and right.
Taking advantage of the miracle rest, Kizzire opened from the rough spot and then sunk the putter into the unlikely 4.
The best booth of the golf channel: “That’s Patton Kizzire’s birdie.”

Patton Kizzire makes birds with the help of the floating sign of 3m Open
In the second round of the 2025 3M open, Patton Kizzire made the birdie on the par 5.
Unfortunately, the incredible birdie isn’t enough to push Kizzire to the edge. He finished the second round with a 70 shot, scoring three-thirds in the game, short of the tangent. He will be home from Minnesota as early as possible, but he may remember for a long time this week anyway.
