The old woman seized the chance to cruise around Mississippi in a new Nissan Altima with a putt that might make most Tour pros jealous.
As Wakefield stroked a shot down the middle, the surprised commentator cried “Tell you what, that’s looking good … that’s looking really good.”
And seconds later the crowd went wild when the ball was successfully sunk before the new cult hero was given a huge hug by the home team’s mascot Tony the Landshark.
The footage of the jubilant scenes soon went viral, passing over 132,000 likes on SportCenter’s Twitter account.
Sandra McDougall-Mitchell tweeted: "This is my mom and I am so happy for her. She really needed a new car and this is perfect!!
"She is 86 yrs young btw, mother of 7, grandmother of 14 and great grandmother to 4 soon to be 6!!!
"She used to play golf, but hasn't played in years. She does like to putt around every once in a while."
