VIDEO: Chesson Hadley yells ‘Be somebody!’ at golf ball at Texas Open

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


We all yell at the golf ball sometimes, thinking it'll listen and do our bidding. On Sunday, however, Chesson Hadley tried to encourage his ball to be all it can be.

After Hadley hit his second shot from a fairway bunker on the par-4 11th at TPC San Antonio's Oaks course, Hadley looked at his ball for a moment before yelling at it, "Be somebody!"

The ball, seemingly encouraged, landed 6 feet from the hole. Hadley went on to make the birdie as part of a final round of 1-under 71 that put him in a tie for fourth place.

In addition to talking to the ball, Hadley's finger snapping after each birdie and the chicken kick he did when he almost chipped in on Saturday make him a one-man show out there.
