Mackenzie Hughes made a lot of money on his final two holes at the Travelers Championship on Sunday.
The Canadian entered the 17th tied for sixth place at 15-under, and then made this absolutely absurd putt for birdie:

That’s some extremely clutch putting to conclude the tournament.
Hughes finished 17-under par and tied Will Gordon for third place. They each earned a $436,600 prize. Meanwhile, five players tied for sixth place at 15-under, and those players each earned a $233,470 prize. So, Hughes’ putts on 17 and 18 made him over $200,000.
Dustin Johnson shot 19-under to win the Travelers Championship, for his 21st career PGA tournament victory.
