One dad in particular was awesome on Father's Day at Pinehurst No. 2.
Rickie Fowler pulled his tee shot at the par-4 16th in the final round of the 2014 U.S. Open. When the ball landed in the pine straw, it began scooting toward a dad and his son. The dad did what any dad would do in the situation: He picked his kid up to get him out of the way of the ball.
Eventually the ball made its way toward a television camera stand, but the boy was just fine.
