Overview
The creator tells the inspirational story of Keegan Bwalya, a 39-year-old part-time caddy and taxi driver from Zambia.

Transcript
This man right here has one of the greatest stories in all of sports, and we have to talk about it. He just made a professional golf tournament cut with a duct tape driver. This is Keegan Blalja, 39 year good, father of three, part time taxi driver, part time caddy. And his journey in golf was never to play professionally. It was strictly to help financially support his family. Keegan and his three kids and wife live in a two bedroom home that has no electricity, no running better, and no bathroom. But over the years as a katty tier Nchanga Good Club in Zambia, Keegan fell in love with the game. And a huge shout out to Ryan French over at Monday Q for reporting this story. But as Keegan continued to fall in love with the game and the club saw his talents, they gifted him a membership no he could play more than just on Mondays. And just last week, the Sunshine Tier brought the KCM Challenge to Keegan's home worse, where he was given an exemption into the event. Keegan went out day one, fired a round of one over 73, then turned around on day two, fired off a 67, five under par, making the cut at a professional golf event with a duct tape driver. Never in his life had he ever played a professional golf tournament. And the story gets even better. This is Ricky Henler, one of the full time Sunshine Tour players. And over the week, he got to know Keegan, and one of the biggest things that stood out to him were how old his clubs were. Ricky then went to his title sponsor, Sriton, and asked if they could help Keegan in any way. Keegan Bwalia was then gifted something he had never had in his entire life, a brand new set of golf clubs. So although this journey for Keegan Bwalia and his family has not been easy, I think it's just getting started, and this will not be the last we hear of Keegan Bwalia. And if you enjoy unheard of golf stories like this, follow for more.
