Branden Grace likely couldn't replicate the shot if he tried.

Grace hit a drive Saturday on TPC Louisiana's par-4 13th hole that traveled 286 yards in the air before disappearing.

"Uh oh," said CBS on-course reporter Dottie Pepper as Grace's ball flew straight into a tree root, just off the left side of the fairway and about knee height.

When Grace got to his ball, he found it lodged in the middle of the jagged cypress knee and underneath a detached piece of the root. He had no other option but to extract the ball and take a penalty drop.
