Oh my God, you guys have to check out this hilarious moment from the 3M Open! Amateur golfer Luke Clanton was having a nice day, putting together three straight birdies at TPC Twin Cities.
Clanton had reason for optimism after carding three straight birdies on the 7th hole Saturday to move to 3-under for his round. But it was the par save he made on the following hole that brought the cheers raining down - and one spectator in particular who stole the show.
His sister Abby absolutely lost it in the gallery! "YEAAHHH LET'S GOOO!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, doing a little flexing pose for added effect. The announcers were cracking up on air at her frenzied display of fangirling over her brother, “That is Luke’s sister. She is also the president of the Luke Clanton Fan Club.”
"LET'S GOOOOO!"

Get this - Abby is apparently the president of the Luke Clanton Fan Club! It's no surprise when you hear how supportive she's been of his golf career. She sacrificed scholarship opportunities to stay closer to home as Luke pursued his dream. These days she's scattered across the country from him and their other sister Ray, but they still check in every day.
“Abby was one of the best soccer players growing up,” Clanton said. “She was unbelievable, and she didn’t go to certain colleges because of me. She wanted to be a zoologist and all these things, and Ray, same way. I was young and they were already saying, ‘I don’t want to travel as much, save money for him,’ because we were growing up with not much money.
“We’re all across the country, but we all still connect every single day.”
It was just so stinkin' cute and hilarious to see how much this par meant to Abby in that moment. I might have to track her down and make her vice president of my Luke Clanton Fan Club. Who's with me?! Let me know your favorite part of this whole drama down in the comments. I couldn't stop laughing re-watching Abby's reaction - she's reality TV gold, folks!
