Gaby Lopez had quite the approach shot on her first hole of the U.S. Women's Open.
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.
THAT was awesome!

Gaby Lopez's approach hit the ⛳, but she was actually rewarded with a great break to set up a birdie.@Allypic.twitter.com/Kuf2uyGx0S
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.
