Just inches from a stunning hole-in-one at Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the Mexican star was poised to make a spectacular shot.
The IBF super middleweight title was added to his collection in November when Caleb Plant defeated him. Now, the star is taking some well-deserved rest from training.
He is not content to stay at home, and is instead participating in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament.
Canelo found his passion for golf during the coronavirus epidemic and it quickly became his favorite hobby.
He has participated in two celebrity competitions for golf and won the top honors at the 2021 BMW Charity Pro-Am tournament.
The event brought together top golfers including US Ryder Cup team-mates Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay and Daniel Berger along with some star-studded celebs.
CBS showed Canelo as the Round Five leader, and he is now heading to the final.

When Canelo was asked how he became so skilled, Canelo answered: "Practice." You should practice for four hours each day. It is the only way to improve.
The multi-weight champion then lined up a shot in a million dollar challenge, where anyone who hits a hole-in one could donate the enormous windfall to any charity of their choosing.
Then he produced an amazing shot, which was just inches away from the hole.
After the 82ft shot, the ball returned to the green and landed just 11 inches away from the hole.
He then raised his club in celebration, before he took off his hat to salute the cheering crowd.
Al Haymon's PBC banner offered Canelo a pay per view return against Jermall Charlo, a free agent.
Eddie Hearn offered a deal that included a fight against Dmitry Bivol for the WBA light-heavyweight title. Then, a three-fight bout with Gennady Gorlovkin.
Eddy Reynoso, Canelo's trainer and manager, is in charge of planning Canelo’s next move.
Due to his marketability, he leans towards American Charlo because he has never been beaten.
The ball landed just 11 inches away from the hole after it bounced off the green's back.
After the crowd applauded his amazing shot, he took off his cap.
