The 2017 Volvik World Long Drive Championship ended with some major power from champion Justin James. James took home the title on September 6 at WinStar World Casino and Resort, defeating Canadian Mitch Grassing. James won the event, which was presented by Performance Inspired, with a colossal 435-yard drive. James had previously advanced against Paul Howell in the quarterfinals with a 434-yard drive, followed by a 437-yard blast in the semis against Kyle Berkshire. Here’s a look at James’ winning shot:
WALK. OFF. WINNER!!!!@JustinJamesGolf just hit the longest Volvik #WorldLongDrive Championship clincher in history! pic.twitter.com/tvsK1lTTGj — Golf Channel (@GolfChannel) September 7, 2017
The powerful slam set a record for the longest clinching drive in Volvik World Long Drive Championship history—the cherry on top of his major payday. “It’s crazy. I can’t really describe it,” James said to Golf Channel after his win. “You know they say when I watch games, ‘There are no words,’ and I think they’re stupid. But now I’m the stupid one, because there’s no words to describe this. It’s the best thing ever.” Here’s a look at James with the title belt, courtesy of World Long Drive Championship presenter Performance Inspired:
