Ben Crane takes a bizarre course in New Orleans

Ben Crane made the green in two at the sixth hole of the Zurich Classic, via the unconventional route of the fifth hole fairway!

Ben Crane came up with an innovative way to tackle the tough par-four sixth hole during the second round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Rather than take the straightforward route, the American decided the best approach would be to aim up the adjoining 12th fairway, trimming around 40 yards from the hole.

Aiming 45 degrees left of the usual target, Crane smashed his drive through trees and bushes to the left of the tee, leaving himself a blind 158-yard second into the green.

The tactic certainly confused the PGA Tour's shot tracker, which described his drive as "247 yards to unknown"!
