DWIGHT YORKE fired a “miracle’ shot from behind the bushes as he mixes it with footballing icons on the golf course.
The Manchester United legend is part of a star-studded line-up taking part in the Reignwood Icons of Football 2026 in Bangkok.
It’s Team England vs Team World with both sides boasting huge names from the game including John Terry, Jimmy Bullard, Joe Hart, Gareth Bale, Ryan Giggs, Gabriel Batistuta, Henrik Larsson, Andriy Shevchenko and many more.
During his match-up Yorke hit what is likely to be the shot of the week as he managed to find the hole from the bushes.
As soon as the ball was in the air, his caddy had his hands up in celebration before the pair let out a huge roar of delight.
Bullard was even on hand to share a hug with his on course rival this weekend, showing his appreciation for the “extraordinary shot”.
