Mac Boucher, a golf influencer known for impressive trick shots, has pulled off what might be his most spectacular feat yet at Australia's Kingston Heath Golf Club - a backwards moon-ball wedge shot from a bunker's edge that found the hole.

Standing at the 15th hole with one foot in the bunker, Boucher executed a Phil Mickelson-inspired backwards flop shot. The ball soared over his head, cleared two bunkers, landed on the green, and rolled perfectly into the hole.

The shot was particularly impressive given the hole's notorious difficulty. The 15th at Kingston Heath is known for its challenging pin positions, making it nearly impossible to keep the ball on the green when short-sided - unless attempting this incredible backwards flop shot.

While some viewers questioned the authenticity of the footage, Boucher provided additional video angles confirming the shot's legitimacy. The feat garnered widespread praise on social media, with many calling it "the coolest shot ever put on Instagram."

Despite this amazing display of skill, Boucher remains grounded. Just two months prior, he missed the cut at the Asian Tour's International Series Thailand, reminding his followers that "pro golf is hard" and "humbles the s*** out of you."
