Mike Tirico's call of a butterfly following Brooks Koepka's long birdie putt to the hole was too good
The Tour Championship – the PGA Tour’s last of three playoff events – is underway in Atlanta and a ton of money is on the line with the 30 top players battling it out for the FedEx Cup and the $15 million bucks that come with that.
So yeah, this event is pretty serious business.
But golf, as you know if you’ve ever played it, can be a goofy game that can drive you mad at one moment and leave you laughing hysterically just minutes later.
It’s also played outdoors in nature and funny things can happen in nature. That happened Thursday as a butterfly followed Brooks Koepka’s long birdie putt all the way to the hole before flying away.

NBC’s Mike Tirico, who is one of the best announcers in all of sports, nailed that call. Just so good.
