Watch this Jhonattan Vegas tee shot that had the police involved

Sometimes in golf it’s better to not play the ball as it lies, as in the case of an errant Jhonattan Vegas tee shot on the par-5 12th hole during the final round of the 3M Open on Sunday.

Vegas’ ball landed on the arm of a police officer.

That’s not a crime, of course, nor even a penalty, though a PGA Tour official was called in to assist with Vegas’ ensuing free drop.

Vegas was leading the tournament at that point. He went on to make par there on the 12th hole, and two putted from 96 feet on 18 to make birdie and top Max Greyserman by a shot.
