The LPGA Tour shifted from the champagne-soaked celebration of Minjee Lee's KPMG Women's PGA Championship win to the breezy showdown at the Dow Championship this week. And while the format may have shifted, the drama certainly didn't. On Thursday, longtime friends Megan Khang and Lexi Thompson, competing as "Team Biggie Smalls," excited fans. But it wasn't just their 3-under start, but a shot by the roadside that turned heads. Megan Khang stops traffic for her golf shot It was the shot on the 16th hole at Midland Country Club when Khang found herself out of position and just feet from a busy street. The ball was inbounds, but a metal post bearing "No Parking" and "Bike Lane" signs obstructed her follow-through. Khang called in a rules official, who clarified that while the signs didn't affect her line of play, she could take relief due to interference with her swing. But Khang took her chances!

(Image Collage) Getty Images As cars moved by, her caddie, David Taylor, stepped into the road, arms raised like a school crossing guard, to halt traffic and create a safe window for the shot. Khang pulled a fairway wood and launched a low screamer through the trees. The ball skipped onto the green and rolled just past the back edge. "That'll stop traffic," said Golf Channel's Grant Boone during the live broadcast. While NBC Sports's Morgan Pressel declared it "exceptional." The duo saved par and went on to birdie the next two holes, finishing their round at 67. Later that evening, Khang shared a reel of the moment on her Instagram story. Following that was another repost from LPGA host Hope Barnett. Barnett had cheekily captioned it, "What people mean when they say caddies have multiple jobs. Add controlling traffic to the resume LOL." Khang added her own praise, typing, "This was so good," acknowledging caddie David Taylor's exceptional role. Taylor has been on Khang's bag for several seasons and has long been praised for his calm demeanour and quick thinking. But this was hands down, pure class!

As Khang got prepared to hit the team's second shot, caddie David Taylor stood in the middle of the road with his hand up to quiet all cars.
