Bettor hits $1 20-leg parlay for $680K

A golf bettor turned $1 into $679,894.55 after hitting a 20-leg parlay Sunday, according to Sportsbet, an online sportsbook in Australia.

The gambler selected the winner of 20 head-to-head matchups at the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship in Surrey, England.

The book posted the winning picks on its Twitter page (@sportsbetcomau), writing that “A punter turned a single $1 overnight into $679,894.66 with a MASSIVE 20-leg #SBMulti in the #BMWPGA Championship.”

Tyrrell Hatton was one of the legs on the parlay. The Englishman won a final-round showdown with France’s Victor Perez to claim a four-stroke tournament victory.
