SportsCenter I'd like to submit a golf shot for your Top-10 segment!
Hailee Cooper, a 2026 LPGA Rookie, just had one of the craziest chip-ins I've seen in quite a while. The 26-year-old found herself scrambling during the opening round of the ShopRite LPGA in South Jersey, but the golf gods have an interesting sense of humor sometimes.

Cooper found herself tucked behind a grandstand on the par 5, 18th and was completely out of the line of sight from the TV cameras. But once she struck her shot, her ball was immediately tracking towards the hole. With a couple of quick hops, the ball rolled right on it for what is probably the most epic par save of all time.
She couldn't help but to laugh it off! And I don't blame her, golf is one hell of a game sometimes. Despite the great shot, Cooper is currently 5-over par, 13 shots behind first round leader Laetitia Beck, who shot an 8-under 63 to be two shots clear of second place.
With the U.S. Women's Open across the country in LA next week, many top players have opted out of ShopRite this year, meaning that the door is wide open for someone to claim the title. The winner can also earn her spot at Riv if she hasn't already qualified.
