One-Legged Golfer Makes Debut at Alfred Dunhill Links Championship


Amateur Miguel De Los Santos lost his leg in a road accident years ago. This week, he's playing in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship alongside Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Ernie Els. De Los Santos plays to a 3 handicap and doesn't use a prosthetic leg. He outshot his playing partner Richard Bland in the pro-am,  shooting an amazing 76

He does use crutches between shots but not while addressing the ball.

Said Bland,

"He hardly hit it off line, hardly hit a bad shot, he has a great short game and putts pretty good."

"You just stand there thinking how phenomenal it is. He is so strong his forearms are like thighs and your hand disappears when you shake hands with him."


Watch the pretty inspirational stuff here.
