It appears he steps over the 550 with his right foot. The trap is offset to the right a few inches from the hole. Had it been offset to the left side the outcome probably would have been different. The second video shows some odd behavior, at this point he's probably a foot or more to the left side of the hole. Rather than roll, I'm not sure what he's doing. https://youtu.be/weTf1hIoOoI https://youtu.be/tOymmj3F8I4 Last edited by Reaperman; 12/04/21 01:47 PM.
