Gaby Lopez found herself in the fairway after her opening tee shot at the U.S. Women’s Open... and then things got interesting.

Starting on the back 9 and therefore the par-4 10th hole, Gaby fired her approach shot and may have done so with a bit too much on it. Her approach hit the pin and rolled off to the side... amazingly before riding the slope back down to set up a birdie putt she would go on to make.
It was a bit of an abrupt sequence if that is not obvious. Paige Mackenzie captured the moment well with a “whoa!” as the ball hit the pin. The shot became all the more incredible as Lopez’s ball rolled down the slope.
As noted Lopez started off her round with a birdie which is what you are looking for anytime, but especially during a major championship.
Better lucky than good, as they say.
