In 2010, BBC reporter Quentin Sommerville was reporting on a massive mile of different drugs being burned by authorities in the Middle East, when this happened.

These dudes have been calling each other the worst President in history for 80 straight minutes — and neither one of them got really offended until their golf skills were questioned. Hahaha.
Johnson Wagner fired this bunker shot over the green and then Bryson appeared from the darkness carrying the U.S. Open trophy. Just an instinct for content creation. Then Johnson hit it to a foot. Breathtaking live TV
A 38-year-old from a small town in Eastern Iowa is playing on the DP World Tour this week.
It will be the highest level of golf he's ever played.
He's never had a Korn Ferry, Challenge Tour, DP World Tour, or PGA Tour start.
Jordan Weber is one of the best stories in golf this year.
A story of perseverance and never giving up on your dream:
Jordan is from Bernard, Iowa. A town of 115 people. His dad had more cows than the town had people.
Jordan picked the game up as a teenager. And he fell in love.
In the winter, he'd practice in the family's barn. Hitting golf balls off old pieces of carpet into bales of hay.
Jordan had one offer out of high school to play college golf in West Virginia.
He ended up as a walk-on at the University of Northern Iowa.
Jordan went on to have the most successful career in UNI history.
He turned pro after graduating in 2008. He didn't have much money, so he raised $26,000 from friends and family.
He played on the Dakotas Tour five times that summer.
• 2 wins
• 1 2nd
• 2 3rd
Jordan gave Q School a run - but got the yips. And they didn't go away.
In 2012, he gave up pro golf and got a desk job at Wells Fargo, content that chasing his dream was over.
But Jordan is a fierce competitor. He was too talented to let the dream go.
So this winter, he started playing on the @NEXTGolfTour. He won twice.
And Jordan won the NEXT Golf Order of Merit.
With the win, he earned a DP World Tour start and three Challenge Tour starts.
The dream is alive - 12 years after he hung it up.
From a personal side - Jordan is one of the nicest guys on the planet.
He lived with me and @tylerjohnson_59 for a summer. He had no money and slept on an air mattress.
I struggled with my game in my junior year of college. My confidence was absolutely shot.
But Jordan took time to work with me and get me back on track. I had the best summer and fall of my career.
Jordan's sister was also a damn good golfer at UNI, and his brother played for Drake - he was a stud.
I couldn't be more pumped for Jordan and his family. Good things happen to good people.
He is going to have a hell of a week.
Seeing that Panther logo on his bag has me fired up.
