Furthermore, he won the championships in 2000, 2001, and 2003. The NBA legend had a basketball career spanning over 19 long and illustrious years.

After Lee says this, Shaq takes a shot backswing and hits behind the ball. As a result, the ball goes into the water.  Moreover, Lee is heard saying, “Beauty. The rings, the rings. You see that?  He further goes on to whisper to the camera, “That’s where it went, 20. He hit it 22 feet.”

If you look at Shaq’s golf swing, it is pretty incredible how he manages to produce all that power. The 50-year-old takes a short backswing and rotates his hips as fast as possible to generate a tremendous amount of energy and speed. It is truly incredible to see the immense power he develops in his golf swing.

When did Trevino win his last major championship?

Lee won his final and sixth major championship victory in 1984. He emphatically won the 1984 PGA Championship to add another major event title. Moreover, he won the event with an overall score of 15-under-par. As a result, Trevino won the event with a comfortable four-shot cushion after the final round. He carded a final round of three-under-par, 69 to cement his name on the top of the leaderboard.
