South Korean golfer Byeon-Hun An hit a 299-yard drive down the right side of the fairway on the sixth hole at TPC Sawgrass Thursday, leaving himself a 95-yard approach shot to the pin, set in the right side of the green. 

A huge palm tree leaning over the fairway tuned what could have been a birdie chance into a frustrating hole for An. 

An tried to pitch a shot over the tree, but it clipped a frond and got stuck high above the course.

An's ball was unplayable, forcing him to take a penalty stroke and drop. He still managed to get up and down to save bogey.
