Watch: Woodland slam dunks approach to win opening hole

Related Topics: Eddie Pepperell, Hole

Eddie Pepperell hit his approach shot to the par-4 first hole on Wednesday at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play to 21 feet.

But he never had a chance to putt for birdie.

That's because his opponent, Gary Woodland, piped a drive 314 yards and then jarred his second shot from 87 yards for an eagle-2 and the win.

Woodland also won Nos. 3 and 6, to take a 3-up lead through six holes.
