Deadly Catch

During a day at the beach, we found a dead crab was on the shore, I moved it to the slipper for the photo.

Hideki Matsuyama

PGA golfer Hideki Matsuyama receives the 2022 Sony Open In Hawaiʻi trophy, after taking the tournament in extra holes over Russell Henley. Matsuyama was five strokes behind Henley at the 9th hole, but made a charge to tie Henley at the 18th hole, forcing the sudden death playoff.

It was an exciting end for the golf tournament. I was part of the video board crew, with a hand-held camera on the 18th fairway.  On his push to win, Matsuyama's tee shot landed about 20 feet from my camera position. After he made the following shot, I had to run with my camera to the green for the winning shot, which ended being the tying shot. The playoff hole made it suspenseful, as to who would win.
