John Peterson was comfortably in last place heading into the final round of the CIMB Classic. At 16 over for the week through 54 holes, the LSU product was just paying for a paycheck in the no-cut event.

So, with nothing to lose, Peterson decided to try out the Happy Gilmore swing off the first tee, the 10th hole in his final round at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club. Sure enough, Peterson pulled off the shot, which is impressive enough since there are plenty of folks who have lost driver heads trying the fictional golfer’s power move.

Ultimately, Peterson carded 6-under 66 on Sunday, his best round of the week by eight shots. However, he still finished in 77th place, last among by three shots.
