据英国体育媒体报道，当地时间8月17日，BMW锦标赛上，英国高尔夫名将汤米·弗利特伍德收获一个意想不到的“帮手”。当日比赛中，他所击的球停在距离洞口仅几毫米的位置，就在他走向球位之际，原本悬在洞杯边缘的小球竟奇迹般坠入洞中。
British golfer Tommy Fleetwood, the silver medalist in the men's golf individual stroke play at the Paris 2024 Olympics, may have had an unlikely assistant during the BMW Championship in Maryland, the US, on Sunday.
During one of the crucial moments in the tournament, Fleetwood's shot appeared to stop just centimetres short of the hole. But in a surprising twist, just a few seconds later, the ball suddenly began to roll again and dropped straight into the hole.
慢镜头回放揭示了真相，一只苍蝇成为了他的“神秘助手”。
推杆停止时，这只昆虫正停留在球体上，随后爬向另一侧，这个动作促使高尔夫球旋转落洞。
Spectators and Fleetwood himself were already bracing for a par. But in a surprising twist, just a few seconds later, the ball suddenly began to roll again and dropped straight into the hole.
Upon reviewing the replay, the surprising cause was revealed — a fly. The tiny insect had flown over the ball at just the right moment, appearing to nudge it ever so slightly forward — enough to tip it into the hole.
天空体育解说嘉宾、四届大满贯得主劳拉·戴维斯在回放验证前就敏锐发现了这只苍蝇。她幽默解说道：“它来了，仿佛在说‘这可不行，我得沿着球体赤道散个步，然后完美进洞’，谢谢这位小帮手。”
而凭借这神奇一杆，汤米·弗利特伍德在BMW锦标赛中升至第4名，获得91万美元奖金。
Thanks to the unexpected birdie, Fleetwood climbed the leaderboard to finish fourth overall, securing a prize of $910,000.
