THE LINKS — Do you remember when Tiger Woods sank that amazing chip shot from the rough at the 2005 Masters? It's been referred to as "one of the most memorable shots in Masters history" with good cause.

The ball seems to hang forever before finally dropping at hole 16. And, of course, Tiger went on to win the green jacket.

Well, what if Tiger had a little assistance on that shot? Some sort of disturbance that propelled the ball forward enough to drop in. A small earthquake could do the trick. Or a stiff breeze. What if it was a bug that nudged the ball in? It wouldn't be unprecedented. Check out this video.

"It's gonna be a birdie," exclaims the golfer in the video. "Help me, bug!"

I have no idea if there were any ants or beetles helping Tiger's big shot in 2005. But it's great to see in this video that insects are chipping in to help golfers get better scores.
