Yanhan Zhou, an 18‑year‑old on the DP World Tour, launched a 514-yard drive during the third round of the Danish Golf Championship at Great Northern in Kerteminde, Denmark. The shot, measured by tour shot‑tracing data, crossed the fairway rightward on the downhill par‑5 fifth hole.

Although no video exists, Golfweek reported that the cart path on the right side aided the launch, sending the ball far down the cart path. Zhou followed with a 104‑yard approach and a 2‑foot tap‑in, earning a birdie despite missing a 29‑foot eagle putt.

Entering the final round, Zhou was in contention to win but finished with a 1‑over 73, tying for second at 12 under overall. He averages 304.14 yards off the tee this season, ranking 61st in distance average on the tour.

Drives of 500 yards or more are exceptionally rare in major tour play; the last notable example was Louis Oosthuizen’s cart‑path‑aided 500‑yard shot in 2013. Zhou entered the event ranked No. 247 in the world and has played 12 DP World Tour events this season.
