VIDEO: Bryce Harper crushes a drive Happy Gimore-style

Bryce Harper can hit a 100 mph fastball a long way. Turns out, he can also hit a completely stationary golf ball way further.

The Washington Nationals outfielder showed off his golf skills on Instagram, employing a modified version of the Happy Gilmore swing to blast a 340-yard drive.

340 yards! Why not? What's up Happy Gilmore #leftygolf @aaronkurcz @chasenshreve61 @bryanharper45 @sportscenter @ionmellc @underarmour @taylormadegolf

After riling up his playing partners a la Adam Sandler's iconic character, the left-hander used TaylorMade equipment to smash the drive that landed just short of the putting surface. Wow.
