College Hoops Fan Wins $10K By Absolutely Nailing a Full-Court Putt
One Indiana State Sycamores fan left Tuesday night’s game against the Missouri State Bears $10,000 richer.
During a timeout, ISU senior Camden Harden had a chance to win a nice five-figure check—but it wouldn’t be easy. The challenge was for Harden to putt a golf ball the entire length of the basketball court into a small hole on the opposite baseline. That’s a 94-foot putt on a hardwood surface, quite the daunting task.
But Harden’s stroke was smooth, and the ball skittered down the center of the court right through the middle of the hole.
Congratulations to senior Camden Harden for winning $10,000 for the EPIC

That’s a ridiculously impressive putt. To put it in perspective, there was only one putt made on the PGA Tour last season longer than Harden’s (100 feet, three inches by Harris English on the sixth hole at TPC Scottsdale). Shouldn’t that be worth more than $10,000?
