Watch: The Laws of Physics Simply Don't Matter at Evian

I always knew there was something magical in that water—and Mi Hyang Lee just proved it.

Some golf shots are impressive because of the execution. Others are impressive because they make you question whether the laws of physics still apply. On Friday at the Evian Championship, Mi Hyang Lee delivered the kind of moment that makes you stop scrolling — a shot on the 18th hole that seemed to defy everything we thought we knew about how a golf ball should move.
It's the kind of highlight that looks impossible on the first replay, even more unbelievable on the second, and somehow keeps getting better every time you watch it back.
After driving the ball into the right rough on the 18th, Lee had a tough second shot with the ball sitting below her feet. A water hazards protects the front portion of the green and was very much in play for Lee—when the unbelievable happened.
The ball took one big hop over the surface of the water to land on the green with a chance for eagle. She gave it a good run but settled for the birdie.
We’re not saying the water at Evian has special powers, but after watching Lee’s ball skip its way to safety on 18, we’re starting to wonder if those famous springs are producing more than just bottled water. Maybe there’s a little golf magic mixed in, too.
