VIDEO: Golfer hits the green with a between-the-legs backward shot from a hazard

Most golfers don't pull off the Hero Shot, be it going for a par 5 in two over water, slinging a ball around or under a tree or hitting a ball out of a hazard. But sometimes they do, and when they do, it's glorious.

Check out this shot, uploaded to Instagram, of a golfer hitting a punch shot backwards and between the legs from the edge of a hazard, successfully landing the ball on the green.

No word if the guy made the putt for what would be one hell of an up-and-down, but it was an impressive effort regardless.
