When the PGA Tour Champions descend on the Magic City for the year's first major, no one knows what's going to happen.
That's exactly what one fan found when the seemingly impossible became possible. When Charlie Wie, a professional golfer since 1995, hit a shot off the green on the 18th hole, but the ball somehow ended up in his drinks cup, one fan got a very special surprise.

The fan showed Wi the cup and told the Korean star he had a surprise for him, to which Lee began laughing hysterically and said it was the best shot of the day.
Wie dropped and placed the ball on the green to thunderous applause from the gallery.
He finished tied for sixth at 11 under par, six strokes behind eventual winner Doug Barron.
Amazingly, Wie never won a PGA Tour event in her career, finishing runner-up in five events, but she did have a legendary career on the Asian Tour, winning seven times.
But he has finished in the top 25 on the Champions Tour and has won $324,616 this year.
And now, Wee has memories in Birmingham that she will never forget.
