Mark’s magic tee shot with a little help from his friends

|

Mark Noble the golfer had a seriously suspicious piece of good fortune on his side following a shocking tee-shot at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

Nobes was involved in the pro-am tournament alongside American world No 15 and West Ham fan Billy Horschel.

Noble and Horschel together posted a score of -29 thru four 72 holes, but the West Ham legend got a tee-shot on the 18th hole all wrong.

Despite having more time on his hands after hanging up his boots at the end of last season, the ex-midfielder’s golf swing still needs a little work.

Noble sliced his shot well right of the fairway and into the crowd at St. Andrew’s.

However, quite extraordinarily LOL after the ball had bounced its way around the crowd for a while it suddenly and not so miraculously found its way bang onto the fairway.

Nobes has many may friends out there.
