Steve Stricker has undoubtedly faced many shots that could be considered nontraditional during his long and successful career.
This one, however, may take the cake.

Stricker took to the top of the University of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium to hit balls Saturday during the Badgers’ game against Illinois on Saturday as part of a sweepstakes.
Stricker tried to stick a 135-yard shot from the top of the stadium on the “W” at the 50-yard line. If he accomplished the feat, a lucky fan would win two VIP tickets to the 2015 PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
The PGA Tour star and Wisconsin resident even put in some practice time before the game to make sure he was comfortable from hitting from atop the stadium:
Unfortunately for the fan, Stricker missed his mark but that doesn’t take away from the awesome stunt pulled by Stricker.
