WATCH | Eagle alert! Harman's backspin magic lands him an eagle at PGA Championship

American golfer Brian Harman pulled off some magic during the first round of the PGA Championship on Thursday with an eagle on the 17th hole.

Harman, who started his round on the 10th, didn't begin particularly well with four bogeys in his first four holes.

With the eagle, however, he showed some excellent ball control as he spun the ball back into the hole after clearing the flag by a few metres.
