Watch: Patrick Reed makes incredible eagle on the fly during PGA Championship's third round

Patrick Reed made the best shot of the PGA Championship's third round when he dunked an eagle on the par-five No. 18.

Golfers began their rounds at either hole Nos. 1 or 10. Reed started the day on the back nine and bogeyed Nos. 10 and 15 before his crowd-pleasing eagle.

He was two-under par when he teed off on the 570-yard 18th hole, 10 strokes behind the leader, Xander Schauffele.

Reed plays professionally with LIV Golf and has one eagle on the circuit this season. Per DataGolf, the 2018 Masters winner excels around the green and shows excellent touch with his remarkable chip.

He isn't a stranger to making eagles at No. 18 at Valhalla, either. He made his PGA Championship debut in 2014, the last time the tournament was held at the Louisville golf course, and eagled No. 18 during the second round that year.

Reed finished tied for 58th that year at even-par. Through 10 holes in the third round of this year's event, Reed is tied for 42nd at four-under-par.
