He achieved this amazing feat after coming from the successful London Olympics in 2016. Phelps won the most medals overall at one Olympics, with 28 from five Summer Games. Phelps won the most Olympic gold medals ever with 23 gold medals, three silver medals, and two bronze medals.

Surely he wasn’t tired of making records after successful Olympics and this time he did it in the game of golf. In particular, he holed the longest putt ever shown on television.

In case you missed it, the historic moment occurred at the 2012 Dunhill Links. Phelps did the following when faced with a 159-foot eagle putt on the short par-4 sixth hole at Kingsbarns. The shot was so cool that even the best of the golfers won’t be able to boast about this achievement on the golfing course.
